A lot of guys dump some marvel mystery oil down the carb to fog it. I have learned the hard way with c-12 to always run the carb dry when done playing with it for the weekend. C-12 seems to become almost sugar like when it gets evaporates over time in the carb.....never an issue with sunnoco, which I can't get to pass fuel check, go figure.

Might want to throw some scented dryer sheets in the car to discourage any unwanted critter action. They don't tend to go where race gas is venting, but do like the interior.
