I've had to do this for several years now about every 4,000 miles or so.Might be time to either mop the tank out or drop it. Techron is the only thing that's ever worked on my old beast with over 270,000 miles.
Good to know.

One of the first things that need to be checked that I even forget about most times.. Glad you found the problem after all this.
