Yes, but if you had to run gasoline with 10 gallons of water in it through the funnel, where does the water go? On Sat, Sep 8, 2018 at 10:55 PM, Flesner via KRnet wrote: > On 9/8/2018 9:06 PM, Mike T via KRnet wrote: > >> I think it could in theory, but I have to assume these funnels are >> desi

I think it could in theory, but I have to assume these funnels are designed to remove small amounts of water and contaminants from fuel and they'd clog or fail to work right if there's a huge amount of water. Ethanol and water are miscible -- they can blend in any proportion -- but if you don't us

If that's really the case, then de-ethanolized gasoline (or whatever you want to call it) from a major brand might be a more reliable fuel than some off-brands of non-ethanol gasoline. You are, of course, losing 1/10 of the fuel you buy, but commercial gasoline is so much cheaper than aviation gas

Larry; ethanol cannot be separated from gas by funnels using "phase-change" properties. The fuel that is de-alchololed with water is identical to other fuels in the retail stream. The ethanol is added to each tanker truck as it is filled for wholesale delivery, partly because it is too corrosive

Would you consider trying one more test? I've been wanting to do a test of E-10 -- the standard gasoline today that has 10% ethanol -- to see if "washing" it removes all harmful substances. It's well known that if you thoroughly thorough mix E-10 and water, you wind up with all the ethanol in the
