The legal issues with refining your own fuel, with the fire

want, you'll get a better price and not have to worry about
the fuel damaging the system, lye is very corrosive.

I don't think that the lye would be necessary... Just mix water with
the gasoline... The water will settle out with the alcohol and the
gasoline will be on top...
