Got a technical question. Just spent $70 getting a $120 string trimmer repaired. The problem was the ethanol in the gasoline had clogged up the carburetor. Here in Florida we have up to 10% ethanol in the gas and you cannot get any without the ethanol. I was thinking that since alcohol is more volitle than gasoline, I could leave a gallon of new gasoline exposed to the atmosphere until 20% to 30% had evaporated to remove the ethanol.
The question is, would this work to remove the ethanol or would it only concentrate the non alcohol gunk more and make things worse? A gallon lasts me about 2 months so the additional cost is not important.
