I took the traps apart, gas soaked them, and wire brushed. No dip ever again for me, at least fuel based dip anyway. Not sure about F-1 yet.

What dead coyote said works best unless you have 4 doz then it gets expensive. Use the cheapest thinner you can buy and a pan and brush. RD

Try boiling them in plain ole water. Change the water when it turns black. It may take a couple of changes but 99% of the dip will come off.

Gumout Carb Cleaner too. But, as already stated that can get expensive.
