<<remove the year's accumulated "gunge">>

Don't have any operating experience but you will have read about my fuel 
venting experience. With only a gallon or two of fuel flowing over the 
fuselage, there was so much brown gunge deposited that it took two hours 
to clean off. Of course what's left after evaporation is not necesarily 
going to get left in the tank, it might just get burnt, but there is 
certainly plenty of solid in fourstar waiting around to accumulate on a 
yearlong timescale.
