Just a precaution that I take. JoeC also posted a while ago in a thread of some flex fuel system cleaner he uses every now and then to clear them up, I believe fftec recommends it, I'll see if I can pull that up when I get home.
Yah I buy the stuff at Walmart, I will check my trunk as I keep bottles of it back there. But it comes in a little green bottle.

Also that brown gunk is probably the sugars in the Ethanol. My guess is that it's going through a caramelizing process like when you put sugar on a frying pan.
