I do that on my old Cub Cadet. It does take a few minutes of idling to die after I close the fuel valve.
There's one seller of no-ethanol gas here and it's about as far from my house as you can go and still be in the same county. Pretty expensive also. It's near the lake so I think they sell a lot of it to boaters. I buy premium unleaded for my small engines, they seem to like it better and maybe it has less ethanol?
