I forgot the name of a recommended E10 gas tank cleaner.

Put a gallon of E10 gasoline in a brand new 42 gallon tank April 15. Went on vacation. Opened the tank on October 18. Smelled no gasoline fumes. I think sitting in a plastic shed all summer evaporated it all. What steps if any are needed. I will only be filling it with NON E10 from Pennsylvania station.
Thank you.

if it was vented to atmostphere, it would have all evaporated by May in such a large tank

Not sure you need to do anything with only one gallon of fuel in the tank.

No worries, just fillup and go !! People make issues over E10 that are not really there....been using it since it came out...follow simple directions and no issues...not one !!

I agree with the other guys, fill er up and go.

Thank you everyone.

I just remembered that I DO NOT ever drain out any E10 gas in the riding mower tank. Just close the tank valve. Then run the line and carburetor dry at idle speed. Been doing it for decades. Every winter.

Yep....I do use a stabilizer over the winter and over the summer in my snowblowers. After decades of using E10 fuels, no issues. Have two neighbors into old cars, over 18 cars between the two of them....E10 fuels with stabilizer and no problems.....
