gasoline will not harm the can internally, I would use mineral spirits myself though
Thanks for chiming in. Any idea of why mine is the tan gook and most others are getting a dark fluid?
Could it be from only driving occasionally and usually short trips leading to more condensation?
BTW it was separated in the can. When I emptied it the gook was plugging up the drain. I had to stick a screw driver in and then the water came out.
