I cleaned my sediment bowl last fall and to my amusement found a
perfectly preserved, very dead, spider, along with all the little grody
bits that collect in that bowl.

I cleaned the bowl again yesterday.  I found about 4" of what looked like
linguine, neatly coiled in the bottom of the bowl.  It was definitely straight
not curved, off-white/grey.  It mushed up between my fingers like one 
would expect gasoline soaked noodles to mush up.

I can't imagine a gasket in the fuel system that would look like linguine.
So I must assume that someone was feeding this car Italian.

Wonder what else I'll find when I pull that tank and clean it....
