This. When I was the VP Fuel rep in AZ I would be the filling station for the go cart nationals on dirt. The carts would have to come up with a dry fuel tank and unscrew oil cap. If tank was dry I could fill with spec fuel and the AC sniffer was put in oil hole. A couple of tanks were wet and some of the motors had something in oil that sniffer picked up. They were removed from line and sent back to correct. Funny when they came back everything was good to go.
