I have two yellow plastic fuel cans I use for my diesel John Deere. Over the summer I don't use my tractor much, (it is my snow plow rig) so the little bit of fuel left in one of my cans turned into a sicky brown varnish type goo. Mineral spirits, non-oxygenated premium gas, and even paint remover would not disolve the varnish. It was untouched. I brought both cans to town today and after filling the first can with fuel I put two gallons of E85 in the dirty can. WOW it started right away to disolve the varnish and when I got home the can was perfectly clean. Now I need to have a bon fire to get rid of the dirty E85.
