Virtually all 'gas dryers' are alcohol-based. Alcohol and water mix, and
the
combination  is supposed to pass harmlessly through the combustion
process.

The problem is that alcohol is NOT harmless to the seals in fuel systems
that are not designed to handle it. And it handily dissolves a number of
the
sloshing compounds that were used in fuel tanks over the years. Then you
have a mess.

One technique that I've heard of for cleaning out the header involves
making
a siphon vacuum (like you use in aquariums) with a length of stiff tube at
the business end, setting the tail down, and then vacuuming out along the
lower rear seam of the tank. That 'should' get out nearly all the water
and
random crud that may have migrated there.
