Any chemists out there? Anyone know a way to remove the ethanol from
mogas, so that we may safely use it in our aircraft?

This was discussed a while back. While I'm not a chemist I would think that
what came out of the removal process would have a completely unknown octane
rating that would probably be lower than what went in.

Really? Dang, I thought I had kept up here. I remember reading about
TESTING for ethanol, but never removing it... Sorry about that.

I also think "successfully using ethanol-gas" and "ruined his fiberglass tip
tanks" really shouldn't be used in the same paragraph.

Few planes have fiberglass tip tanks -- so I think his experience is a
fairly valid test for many aircraft owners. It seems to be "running"
just fine in his low-compression Lycoming O-540, which is exactly what
you might expect from an old 1940's-era tractor engine.
