Default Ethanol mogas

Would that then make it legal to run mogas with the EAA STC??? Would
the FAA have to approve your separation method?

I think the answers are yes, and what would the FAA care about anyway,
this is MoGas.

Oh, boy the FAA would care. Just to run the mogas you have to have the
STC. Since the STC prohibits using gas with Ethenal they may be
interested in how you got it out.

If anybody cared, I would think you could make a strong case for this
being nothing more than filtering to remove contaminates.

On the other hand, common sense and regulation are generally mutually
exclusive.

Don't try this on anything above a cheap lawnmower. The octane of the
resulting fuel will be reduced substantially, assuming you could even
get all the water out of solution. Remember that as the fuel is
further chilled, more dissolved water will come out, too. Don't even
think of putting it in an airplane.
