 Nope, that's next. Any suggestions for cleaning well, and
once-for-all? This is a stock 20 gal poly tank, not steel.
 Meanwhile, I'm wondering if it's one of three things:
* Some sort of coating in the lines coming off
* Someone sugared my gas tank
* Old varnish in the tank coming off and not-quite-resolving into the
new gas
 In any case, it should resolve with a good system cleaning. Now just
gotta figure out where to put 15+ gallons of questionable gas while I
clean the tank... maybe strain it thru old t-shirts or cheesecloth into
my two 5-gal containers, and then again thru cloth into the other
vehicles. Heavy cotton seems to stop the stuff, don't know why paper
filter element didn't.
