Chamois
I would like to defend the mention of filtering with a chamois in this thread.
There have been several instances in the past few months where large groups of people have had to evacuate their homes (LA, TX, AL, MS, FL). I have been considering storing 10 gallons of gasoline (safely) in case I had to top off before trying to out run a dirty bomb or antrax release. ( I am part of that crowd that likes to put off filling up. )
Until reading this thread I never considered that I might have to filter the gasoline but now I think that I would. Replacing a filter on a mower is easy, it sounds like replacing my Prius filter is a real ordeal.
I had heard about using chamois to filter gasoline but I thought the purpose of using chamois was to catch any water in the fuel.
Sorry to use up all this band width! I've got a Prius, so you know that in other respects I am very interested in saving resources.
