<VV> Gasoline/Ethanol (no Vair)

[corsaconvertible]

It should be fine now that the 10% ethanol has cleaned the tank. I've
been using 10% ethanol in Iowa for about 30 years in new and old cars
and equipment w/o any problems beyond replacing fuel filters a couple
of times ahead of schedule.

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.
