making ethanol free gas "video"

[willyb]

iv never done it but might give it a try just to see what it actually does... anyone ever do or try this before?

I wonder if you could use the ethanol/water byproduct as charcoal lighter fluid?

i was wondering about so use for the waste myself... might be a good solvent? like rubbing alcohol or something? i have no idea really

For me, it's use would depend on how much odor is in the byproduct.
I do not find the smell of ethanol offensive, and it dissipates quickly.
Gasoline on the other hand...

I had seen a video about that a year or two back. The guy said when you do that you need to add octane booster to it because removing the ethanol also lowers the octane rating.
I can neither confirm or deny the validity of that statement.

yeah thats what i understand as well... they say use premium and it lowers the octane to about midgrade or so... but who knows? they do say alot of things lol

Yeah, that makes sense. The guy in the video mentioned that's why he starts with high octane

Well,
Why have to add high octane and go through bull shit steps when you could just start with Ethanol Free gas to begin with?
He says he can't get it there, but how far to get to an area that has it. Airports come to mind?
Websites can tell you where it is.

That said, it is good there is a way to separate the blend.
Peace out, stay safe.
Weather here is super sucky right now. (Sleet, freezing rain)
