Ethanol is Hydroscopic, (meaning that it attracts atmospheric moisture). If ethanol & water are mixed together it becomes corrosive to rubber & metal components.  It has been found that one of the side effects of ethanol fuel is that it can cause degradation of fuel filters, resulting in small particles of the filter being carried into the carburettor & causing running issues & the constant need to adjust the carburettor.  This simple test means that you can check if your fuel is still fresh (low moisture content from absorption of atmospheric moisture). Directions:  Step 1: Submerge swab into the fuel for 5 seconds.                                  Step 2: Shake swab; let dry for 2-3 minutes. (Do not exceed minutes) Step 3: Compare to petrol test Chart. (Indicator colour takes several more minutes to develop for 2-Stroke mixed fuel).
