What kind of grunge? My intake manifold and valve area are/were covered with a sticky goo like thick honey. I cleaned it out once a few days ago with lacquer thinner. I thought it had been in there before I bought the car last month, but when I ran the car it was back. I think the previous owner had coated the gas tank with something and that I had used gas containing ethanol that dissolved the coating, at least I hope that is the case and that the coating is not soluble in pure gasoline .
I drained the tank and am allowing it to dry before I put in some ethanol free gas.
I am allowing a bowl of the bad gas to evaporate to get a sample of the goo so I can test it for solubility in good gas.
