I understand the basic concept but what happens once the filter is clogged with impassable water? how does the gas "get" to the filter? its cheap enough that I am just going to try it and see what happens :-)

but my (very likely flawed) logic of how this works saw a conflict and I was interested in the reasoning to resolve it :-)

do I dunk the toilet paper in water first? (otherwise whats to stop it from just absorbing the gasoline?)

thanks!
