... I was wondering if it is possible to remove the ethanol from mogas and thought of the folling idea. Alcohol binds with water. Get a big tank with a spigot at the bottom, fill it with mogas. Add water, aggitate, let sit. The alcohol ladden water will settle to the bottom. Open the spigot, drain the water. You now have alcohol free mogas. What am I missing here? The remaning gasoline isn't the same as what you would buy if you got gasoline without ethanol - gasoline with ethanol is blended taking in account the fact that ethanol will be added. (octane, distillation curves, etc.) Then there is the question of additives - would they stay with the gasoline, or with the ethanol? -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |
