action to their fuel system. If I failed fuel check, I would dump that container

just me. I'm sure everybody handles it differently.

This happened to me at my first race ever in Stock at Orlando last year. I essentially did exactly what you described and passed fuel check in Q2. I still don't know why I failed the first time but I took corrective action immediately.
