If it actually cycled through your fuel system, you'd have to get the entire fuel system replaced. Fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, injectors... it's a very expensive process.

It basically sits on the bottom of the fuel tank like sand. Very little if any reaches the engine after going through the pickup screen in the fuel tank, the in line fuel filter and finally the filters in the fuel injectors.
