If the gas clean out is a bother, drain the fuel, remove the hose to the BV, spark plugs and blow out the lines. Disable the ignition, spin the engine over to get any excess fuel out.
Squirt some Marvel mystery oil in the lines and give it a little shove with the air gun. A little marvel in the cylinders won't hurt either. Squirt it and spin over. Squirt some Marvel into the fuel pump also.

Now, all this corrosion stuff does take some time to happen so you can wait until you get home to do this. It's also a good idea to remove and inspect the nozzles/jets for alkysand or "stuff" if you will. Alkysand happens when you don't do maintenance. Do the above and you will never have an issue. Oh, and filter the fuel going into the tank. All the above is not a big deal, really. It's just something that has to be done.

I will be a little more blunt here. If you can't be bothered to do 10 minutes of maintenance you will have problems down the road, guaranteed. If so then perhaps alcohol of any kind is not in your best interest.
