We've just recently run out of Ethanol free fuel here on the BP's newest acquisition...the Gulf Coast. The last experience we had with Ethanol fuel was a total disaster to include one engine failure that I barely cleared a tree line on. Can anyone give me info on any additives that may help dealing with Ethanol fuel. Currently, I'm using Sta-bil engine additive for nothing else than to make me feel good. Some people say SeaFoam is good too but others say nothing will help.

Just right for a vintage Rolls. I've been looking for a good octane booster too. Just to try.

I imagine that the alcohol could be removed the same way, but you would probably have to add an octane booster to the remaining gas. I don't know how you could find out the octane rating of it, but alcohol itself is an efficient octane booster- the remaining gas might be down in the low 80's.
