Yesterday afternoon I poured a few ounces of gas (lawn mower ethanol gas) i n a little round clean tuna fish can. To simulate a carburetor butterfly va lve I put the bottom of a tuna fish can on top of the can with gas in it, c losing off some of the air. (carburetor butterfly valves do not close air t ight) I just now checked it, most of the gas has evaporated out of there, p robally that ethanol alcohol too. I think now I am going to fill the carbur etor bowl in my 1948 Willys Jeep and see what happens. Metinks that is what happens to the carburetor bowl gas in my 1983 Dodge van, because I don't d rive it often enough to keep the carburetor bowl full of gas. T'is.
