I think the problem is one of scale -- there's probably a GALLON of that
toxic goo crap in there. It's just too too much to carry through without
depositing.

In my case there's about 2 quarts of dried plasticky, gasoline-soluable
stuff in the tank! Physical removal is the only way when it's bad.


(But I think in the case of say that 73 Hornet I had, where the gas was
"old" meaning a year or so, but in an otherwise sealed and OK gas tank,
Sea Foam might have been just fine.)
