Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
That's a very simple solution to removing the ethanol. Non-ethanol gas is nearly a dollar a gallon more expensive. That's about $10 a tank on a model A

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
Yes, if you remove the crappy ethanol from 10% ethanol gasoline, that is only 30 to 35 cents you loose at $3.00 to $3.50 per gallon for gasohol if you remove just the 10% alcohol they put in it. Much cheaper, as ETAModel noted above with a little labor doing it. I do it for my chainsaw, weed-whip and model A's.

I’d rather pay the extra $1 per gallon to directly fill my car. I don’t want to haul the gas cans to be filled, and then try to remove the ethanol from 10 gallons, I’d need more containers to transfer the fuel into, add water, drain the water mix, and then put the gas back into the gas can. Way too much hassle to save $10! |

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
There is a small equipment dealer about 10 miles from me that got rabid about ethanol.He preached the use of av gas to his customers.One brand of chainsaws that he sold starting burning pistons.After 2 or 3 warranty claims the rep came out to see what was going on,those saws were not known for piston problems.It was the av gas doing it.The saws had been engineered to run on 87,with a minimum of 85.They paid a couple of the claims,but told him he was on the hook for the rest.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
My chainsaw asks for premium gas. I use non ethanol. it does run on regular but I use it lightly cleaning around the place. I don't know the octane of avgas.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
Aviation gas is 100LL, LL stands for "Low lead". It still has lead. Aviation octane is measured differently. It's also dyed blue.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
Just following the logic here, start with the highest octane gas available - and around here it's 92 buy has ethanol added to it - and you would end up with a non ethanol
fuel around 82 octane +/- . Since there is no straight non ethanol fuel available for ux around here, it might be worth looking into? |

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
Note that he added water to his "petrol", not ethanol. For a gasoline/ethanol mixture, there is no separation. Only if this mix is contaminated with water will it separate; this is known as Phase Separation.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
I have a 300 gallon above ground tank and the Co-op delivers no ethanol gas for about 75 cents a gallon more than regular. We have a number of Honda powered irrigation pumps along with the usual number of small engines that you’d find on a large property. I have better ways to spend my time than taking ethanol out of gas.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
This has been around for a long time. It has been said that using this method also removes some of the important additives from the gas.

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
In regards to the octane rating of fuels the lower the octane the better for running an A. The high octane fuels are actually more difficult to ignite and burn. The lower octane will burn easier and give more power.
High octane fuels are for high compression engines that tend to pre ignite fuels due to cylinder pressure. You will not get more performance or better fuel mileage in an A by using them.

Luckily we can still get non ethanol here!

Re: How to remove ethanol from gasoline.
ethyl is the good stuff to drink. i read that the contents of hand sanitizer is 80 percent ethyl plus h2o2 and glycerin. it would be a good gargle. or just add an olive for a 160 proof martini. they used to go to great length to denature it but now with a good still you could make a fortune.
