Its not just the UK where they don't give a toss if they can get away with it then.
I recall local studies on sulphur fall out showing high pollution figures blamed on old petrol vehicles.
When they closed the local steel plant the readings plummeted, just a coincidence apparently.
Personally I would rather the steelworks was still open, maybe fitted with a sulphur scrubber though.

Once you have cleaned and sorted it, I use one of these,
https://www.mgocspares.co.uk/product/t610/waterproof-half-cover-universal?nodePath=1/3/977/1161/1162/2931
my car sits outside as an older more vulnerable model has the only garage in my possession
It works well, is easy to take on and off and folds into a small square zip up case it comes with.
On very wet days moisture will be captured on the inside of the rear screen, but my TF is my daily driver, so a quick wipe usually sorts it.
Most importantly, the wind has not yet blown it off, the elasticated straps are very good.

Of course, this could take a very long time, but contacting Gaydon may be in order regardless.

Gin and French ? Blimey, happy days.
The coanda unit sucks of course, it can be used to remove petrol vapours that may remain, quite safely, unlike the gin and french which can in the wrong doses be very dangerous indeed.

Well cobber, that kind of stuff appeals here, I have a radio shack.
The spare room or man cave is filled with amateur radio gear, my good lady figures it keeps me out of trouble in retirement.
I dont see a scope though, not for any particular use, they just look impressive to visiting dignitaries.

This is just a thought, a theory.
In another life I supplied air movers of the type shown, you provide a compressed air supply at around 4 bar at the threaded port shown.
The locking ring allows adjustment of the unit on a large screw thread, the units are assembled in 2 halves, this way you adjust the suction..
It utilises the coanda effect, for every litre of air supplied it pulls 7 litres through its body.
It is essentially an air powered vacuum cleaner, no electrics required, except of course at the compressor.
They come in various diameters, small enough to fit a tube that will go down the fuel filler end of a fuel tank.
So, you can with a piece of flexi tube and a compressor clean out the tanks, safely hopefully.
The bigger the compressor the more suction you get, but an average garage compressor can do the job.
it is best to fit a tube at the exhaust end, otherwise you get petrol soaked crap all over the workshop.
