“For my small engines I’ve even resorted to stripping out the ethanol from the gas with water. That lowers the octane a couple of points though, so I start out with a higher grade”

How do you do this, E10 is killing my lawn mowers, weed eaters, chain saws and other small gasoline engines!

Ethanol has a greater affinity for water than gasoline.

You add water to the gasohol

Shake it up.

Let it settle.

Drain out the water with the ethanol.

Leaving alcohol free gasoline
