No, once the fuel has been drained it will just settle as a dust this stuff is extremely fine as i said it get through the filters.
You will always get some sediment, but I mean some no more than a thin layer in the well of the float bowl where the drain screw is, and this level isn't a probelm. If you've got it all in the float bowls it's a sign that there either rust or contamination in the fuel system, this could be the tank, pump, filters or fuel lines. If it's not sorted over time it will block jets.
