During the ‘hot soak’ period, fuel residues become thin deposits called gum and varnish. With time, these thin residues accumulate and bake into rock-hard carbon deposits, which can be very difficult to remove.”

Sorry for the off topic but somehow it got derailed, it's all in the off topic "shitstorm" thread. |
Owen Heatwole is Technical Support and Environmental Health and Safety manager for Solid Start automotive maintenance service chemicals and equipment. He has a stake in companies that sell you false products to "clean" or "flush" an engine. Here is their product line of stuff:

HE does not once mention a specific ASE article....
1) This article talks about build up of carbon deposits on injectors, not an issue on our cars because we have port and direct injection, the direct injection may get carbon buildup, but the port injection helps "wash" that off. What they describe does not occur at the high pressure fuel pump it is not hot enough for that to happen.
2) Article would not load correctly because of .ae designation in the site tags which leads me to believe you are from the UAE? Also check the copyright date of that, fuels are much more different today than the 90s
3) What are you trying to prove with this article? It talks about moisture in gas tanks nothing about residue you are so adamant about
Stop random googling in hopes of proving something this thread needs to be locked
