Making Non Ethanol gasoline

we have all tried to start a small engine after it sitting for months only to find out the carb is all gunked up and it wont run..
Modern Gasoline has CORN ALCOHOL added to it and this "ethanol" will absorb water.. then it will sink to the bottom of your gas tank or float bowl and create havoc. I have watched a lot of videos but none of them really covered the easy process to do it..

Use 20% water, some fuel may contain as much as 15% ethanol. Let sit for minimum 24hrs to ensure suspended water molecules have settled out

A little Marvel Mystery in the Oil (MMO) in the gas negates the ethanol and gives extra power via oil. Lubricates the top end while running also. Here in Florida with the heat and humidity its a must.

its absolutely necessary to remove this garbage from your fuel
its corrosive in most engines, , I`ve just had to drain my tank on
the motorbike as it just will not start or run on E10, as soon as I put
the separated petrol back in it fired up and runs a treat, no octane booster !
tho I will try it with as well to see the difference, , great video thankyou !

Ok the food coloring thing is great. With some videos its hard to see a difference. Im not sure if 10 minutes to an hour will be enough time 2:39, 3:11. Some suggest 24-48hrs to fully settle or separate.

Thanks. Due to corn subsidies the destructive ethanol gas is cheaper than ethanol free. I'll be doing this for my small engine gas

In UK we have E10 ( 95 octane standard fuel) or E5 ( super 99 ocatane fel) So how does more ethanol make for a better fuel?

[ooglek]

Where did you get the 5 gallon container with that nozzle? Are they both safe for use with gasoline? Thanks!

[robertpronovost]

So how about distilling the the water and use the ethanol as a stand alone yard torch fuel?

[brianedwards]

So what does a person do with the ethanol/water that is removed?

[ManNomad]

You should get 0.45gl ethanol from 4.5gl of (10%)gas, not 0.5gl

[westonlee]

What do you do with the water and ethanol removed?

[totalyep]

The question is what is the octane after separation so you know how much booster to add?

[leventy]

You did what my chemistry instructor termed, "...And an excess of dihydrogen oxide added to the gasoline ethanol mixture...". Or something like that...

[jdsolberg]

In our town, a local fuel distributor sells ethanol free 91 octane at their warehouse. The local Walmart gas station has a separate pump which sells ethanol free 87 octane. I usually get the 91, cuz my motorsickle likes that better. Just saying, it doesn't hurt to call around to different distributors to see if they offer "corn free, " fuels.

[MrCountrycuz]

add a couple of drops of two stroke oil to the fuel instead of food coloring . helps the engine and the carb.

[spikemcnock]

Is there a use for the water ethonal mix?

[robertlarose]

you said in the video you live in New Hampshire, i do too so why not just buy non ethanol gas at the gas station yes, it costs a little but much easier than doing all that work? Then what do you do with the ethanol/water mix you removed from the gas?

[michaelkozak]

How much octane did you loose. You had to lose

[eddiekytia]

I'm sure someone must have said this but your numbers where off in the 1st jug. 1/2 gallon is not 10% of 4.5 gallons and 1 gallon of water/10% ethanol of 4.5 gallons. You should have had FIVE/5 GALLONS OF FUEL then a 1/2 gallon of water for a total liquid amount of 5.5 gallons then you would or should have ended up with 4.5 gallons clean fuel and 1 gallon of 1/2 water 1/2 ethanol. If your still doing this you should look into a 2 or 3 gallon glass separatory funnel it makes it so easy so

[bmfilmnut]

Two problems. With the container with the spigot, draining would obviously be a problem because the bottle needs to be vented but the vent on this bottle is on the top which is the bottom when the bottle is inverted. Apparently, the spigot allowed enough air in to replace the drained fluid. The other problem is that you mentioned that you flipped the container over. But when you do that, you have to let the gas settle out again so why did you have it right-side up in the first place. The problem is that you have to find a way to prop the container up while it settles. You didn't mention that.
