| Subject: | Removing Ethanol from your car-gas? |
I heard a story the other day about removing ethanol from your car gas before using
it in your plane.....no I haven't done this - I'm not even flying yet......
Based on the test to detect ethanol in your car gas.....
The ethanol absorbs the water that is poured in for the test and has a different
specific gravity than the remaining fuel and 'layers' out. If you use more
water than the ethanol can absorb, it 'layers' out too. Theoretically, take a
large quantity of gasohol (or whatever it's called these days), pour in a bunch
of water, let it settle, sump it out like you would if you were trying to get
a few drops of water out of your airplane fuel tanks (of course - more to be
safe), and go fly with the rest as the ethanol has been removed.
I'm not a petroleum engineer - I deal with trons.....but I would think that they
call it blending for a reason - as in it shouldn't come apart that easy!
I guess if someone did this and tested the remainder for ethanol and didn't find
any - it could (?) be safe to use.
Someone tell me I've had too much to drink tonite! Or, better yet, someone with
a petroleum engineering background tell us it'll work - then all we need to
do is settle out a bunch of gas and not worry about how much corn they put in
it.
