I am not making light of your problem, but I had a little simular problem early in my flying experience . I had a cap or simular plane at the time and it had a pilot that was wearing a little scarf. some how I got talking to a budy and didnt realize I had just put about a gallon of fuel in the fuse. The little pilots scarf was floating in fuel. Anyway, I cleaned it all up and dried everything out. To get out the fuel I used a heat gun and the fuel would rise out of the wood, and I would take a paper towl and wipe it down. It was a big job , but worth it. flew the plane for two more years.
