Dude, that much was obvious when he thought @jawn was a girl.

I always suspected that he was just another Zik/GTX/Cedars reincarnation.

They don't need any other links to see that the links you posted up come from biased websites.

Did I answer your question? And those sediments can sometimes be so fine that they go through that filter.
no because that is flawed logic, you said they tend to float near the bottom of the tank so whether there is a few inches of fuel(2-3) or a full tank (10-15 inches) then you suggest they will float at the bottom anyhow meaning there would still be that same residue at any given height in the tank the only difference would be concentration at that point since the full tank has more area for the residue to dissipate into vs the empty one.


That being said both would have residue at the same height which could possibly cause the issue whether the tank is full or not the concentration would only be lower in the full tank


-++++-
-+--+---+--+


here is a visual representation, the + being residue it would still be possible/likely that it would intake said residue just in smaller amount meaning that your logic is flawed since a full tank would also cause those same issues just at a slower rate or at with slightly less important consequences. (will take 2weeks to gunk up instead of 2 days or will completely block injectors vs will partially block them. In both instances there would be blockage though and since that is not the case your theory/hypothesis is invalid)

You like random internet stuff so much here you go (coincidently enough it says almost exactly what I said from the start)

your logic doesn't stand up for that reason exactly, you previously had stated that there wasn't a risk with a full tank only with an almost empty one.


You also get a higher risk of getting hit by a car if you go outside, but there is no real direct link with going outside vs being ran over just like there is no real world effect of a full tank vs almost empty one (at least not since this millennium)

But Dude, one of those links says in winter to wash your car using Pledge furniture polish. You do not get any more official than that!

Hum I use brakes and actually have enough dexterity to remove my foot from brake, while simultaneously applying throttle and releasing the clutch. Which btw is the proper way to do it. You want driving courses on top of your introduction to physics/chemistry 101?

@Tcoat it was written on the internet so according to him it must be true.


you should also put sugar in your gas tank to fight those residues


sandpaper on wiper to remove the ice


Mike probably has a great intake he could build for you


curb feelers? no wait these actually have a use so he wouldn't think of using them

@go_a_way1 suggested lighting a match to help burn off that residue in the gas tank too!

don't need links to discredit obviously biased marketing material with no sources. Also several people including @Tcoat have already provided links that mentioned the things you said claiming they were myths and had no supporting evidence to back up their claims.
