Gasoline Varnish

[UNC201]

Just took the snowblower out - pregrease, wax, etc.
Carb was run dry as well as tank.

Noticed a slight film on the bottom of the tank --- varnish...

What do you suppose I may can use on the tank. Don't really intend to remove and goes all out cleaning.

Heavy mixture of B12 mixed with gasoline ? Slight soak time and then run the gasoline out. I'd probably do this when I plan to use the machine vs. now. No need to run the tank now when I'm not using it..

Use Gumout, white can, either spray or liquid. It disolves any gum on contact.FWIW-Oldtommy

You could put in a bit of B12 or whatever you choose, let it soak for a day, then add gasoline.

ISn't that EXACTLY what the OP said he was going to do???????

There is a product on the market specifically made to dissolve old gasoline varnish. Its called Mechanic in a Bottle.

I bought some at Home Depot in the weed trimmer section last year. I think their other product called Ethanol Shield is available at Walmart, so maybe you can find it there too.

PS
I just looked on their website and it shows other stores that carry it.
