Hmm,
But water will mix into a mixture of gas and alcohol. Maybe that
only works with less water or it takes some agitation. This is how gas
deicer works. The alcohol melts the ice and allows the water to
desolve into the gas alcohol mixture.

But what?

Water is only very slightly soluable in gasoline; basically not at all.

Water is totally soluable in alcohol.

Alcohol is moderately soluable in gasoline, that is, up to a limit.

Where is the confusion?

Alcohol is completly soluable in gasoline, in fact adding a small
amount of gasoline to model airplane fuel is sometimes done to improve
starting and increase engine heat during the winter. The confusion is
that you can also mix water gas and alcohol and have the three
completely disolve. So why didn't the water disolve into the gas and
alcohol mixture?

Has anybody verfied that this method works all the time? I have a
hunch the rusults can vary depending on vibration and temperature.
