Do not put ethanol into your small engined whatever. You will be rewarded.
Or, one could just pull the fuel line after use, drain the tank, crank it and run it till it burns the residual fuel in the carb and engine, and let it sit w/o fuel in it till needed again. Takes about 20-30 seconds to do this.
