you can just add water to the gas and the water and gas will "bond" - and sink to the bottom. This is how we actually test for how much ethanol is in the gas... HOWEVER if you remove the alcohol from the gas - you also lower the octane... And can bump it up with good octane boosters... but then you have gone full circle and would be best to just get ethanol free gas....
Looking forward to when the aviation 100UL is readily available (and the price comes down as it replaces the 100LL).

Question: If I have a fuel strainer that blocks water but will pass gasoline can I add water to gasoline containing alcohol and then pass the fuel mixture through the strainer to remove the water / alcohol mix? Will the alcohol separate from water and pass through the strainer? IF this process removes the alcohol from the gasoline what is the amount of water needed to remove 10% alcohol from 5 gallon of gasoline? There has to be a catch here or everyone would do it. I have a dozen or more 5 gallon fuel containers that I used at one time to get free 100LL from the waste barrel and filter for use in the KR. That option is no longer available and $6 a gallon 100LL is not a great incentive to go flying. Inquiring minds want to know????????????? Larry Flesner
