I think you're right. I had put some gum out and marvel oil in the gas. I thought maybe that jelled or something.

Something came out but got washed away in gas that followed and I wiped it up right away. But yes, the gas tank was removed to make it safe to weld the floor and brackets for the trunk. It sat out at the farm for a couple years while that and other parts were worked on, so some little creature could have crawled up the empty gas line. Next time, I'll tape it.
