What's the best way to clean out my fuel system? I went racing a while ago and got my **** handed to me a couple times due to my truck bogging at the line and then running like crap through the rest of the run. When I got home and went through the carb, I found a beetle had made it's way through the fuel system and I also have tons of water in my gas. My gas looks like super cloudy unfiltered apple cider.
I've already dumped most of the gas out(not on the ground). Should I run some Marvel Mystery Oil through it with the next batch of gas? Or what should I do to minimize the mess/corrosion?

Alcohol is a good solvent that also absorbs water. Additives like HEAT have different types of alcohol in them to do their job.
Running a tank or two of ethanol blend will help clean things out. But if you have beetles in your tank then you would be miles ahead dropping the tank and getting it cleaned out.
