That answers my question. I've used a funnel for years to filter waste
100LL and it never fails to separate the water / trash. I tested it
when new by placing it under the kitchen facet and running it full of
water. Not a single dropped passed through. I have fiberglass tanks so
I need to insure 100% alcohol free fuel. It's getting hard to find here
in the corn belt of Illinois as Mark's web site indicates. One station
in the area "claims" alcohol free and a marina some 20 miles distant
claims alcohol free also. Problem is I've gone to name brand stations
in the past, paid more for gas "claimed" alcohol free and when tested it
contains alcohol. The fact that it takes more energy to produce a
gallon of alcohol than you get back out of it and it simply removes food
from the table dampens my opinion on the validity of the environmental
benefits anyway not to mention it destroying equipment not designed to
use it. My low compression 0-200 runs great on auto fuel but retrieving
it from the cow pasture is not worth the cost savings. Because of that
I've not run auto fuel for 10+ years now. I ran it in the Tripacer and
KR 90% of the time back when you could trust the fuel but, as suggested,
it's probably not worth the effort.
