Yes this is accurate, that is how I remove the ethanol for all my dirt bikes. If you park a vehicle for a long time the ethanol really leaves a mess in the carburetor, so you can either remove the Ethanol (as per the video) or drain the carb before you park it up. I do both as I doubt the Ethanol does any good for the fuel tank and fuel lines.

While I was watching that video I found this cool flip flop winch you can make with two logs and a rope.

Interesting on removing the ethanol but the big question is how do you replace the octane lost when doing it? Best pump gas around here is 91 octane. I can get 100 octane unleaded but it's $8 a gallon.
