[Shop-talk] Gas tank glop

[Eric Murray]

If the E85 doesn't work, use carb cleaner.  The kind in
the gallon can. It's a lot stronger than the spray kind.
It can eat plastics, even fuel-safe ones, so beware.

Have a plan for disposing the results.  For small amounts
from motorcycles I have just put it in with the oil to be
recycled but for any significant amount that would be a bad idea.

You might consider doing it outside.  The old fuel smell
seems to get into stuff in the garage and stick around long
after the old fuel is gone.
