Here in the desert southwest just about everything evaporates! This includes premium gasoline which (Chevron) I put in my '55 Packard routinely. BTW, I took her for an early morning drive today (after 2 weeks of sitting inside my garage) and I'm glad I had a e-fuel pump. After a few cranks and a single pump of the 4GC she fired. My fuel pump doesn't need rebuilding. It is brand new (Carter) with less than 500 miles on it. Simply the fuel in the bowls evaporates. Modern fuels and their compositions are markedly different than they were in 1955.
