I think I solved my leaking caps problem but now I am having little luck removing the fuel stain from the top of the wing. It was a large blue ring and I tried 100LL, Carbon-X (1:20 and non-diluted too) and WashWax All. What seemed to work a little is Extreme Simple Green Aircraft. It sort of transformed the blue ring into a pale green blotch over a large area.

Will this fade in time?

I was using a yellow microfiber towel from Costco that I have always used on the plane. I don't think the color came from the towel. I really don't want to have to repaint my tanks (pretty sure they have to come off to do that). They were off 2 years ago to do Piper SB1006. Although my tanks are a very slightly different color than the rest of the wing, I still would rather not repaint.
