Fuel on the windshield

[s johnson]

Went flying a couple of days ago for about 40 minutes. Started smelling fuel and noticed the windshield getting spattered with fuel. Actually running in spots. Engine was running good though?? Climbed up to 2000 ft and went back to Wilke Field. Hard to see landing into the sun but was too much tail wind landing the other way. The carb filter was just saturated with fuel.
Always something to fix before AirVenture.  :-(

Gee...thought this might be about fuel spills from refueling. I've experienced that...where spout wasnt' tight on a can, and ran down off the fuel can and dripping/ran onto the lexan. Darn if it hadn't created some milky stains!  Once, I thought it had disappeared on it's own (or didn.t recall what relieved it...) but it came back.

Anyone...know why fuel clouds lexan? More importantly, what can repair it?
