I can just see Bonnie now down at the Exxon with her beaker and flask. . . BTW, I posted a note some time ago regarding the use of marine 2-cycle oil with TCW-3 additive. It counteracts some of the drying and corrosive effects of ethanol. There are also several other benefits to using it in any gasoline engine. If any one is interested, you can read all about it - again - here: http://www.ls1.com/forums/f48/been-testing-oil-91206/ Rip ________________________________ From: John Holst <jholst@xxxxxxxxx> To: CAROLL RIPLEY <ripinator@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 31, 2013 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [Junk released by Allow List] Re: [Chrysler300] I don't need alcohol to be happy Re. Ethanol Gas, There would be a messy but effective method of removing the Ethanol from pump gas. When checking the amount of Alcohol in the gas you can use a 100 ml. Flask filled with 90 ml. mix then add 10 ml. of water. The water is miscible with the Alcohol and will form a distinct cloudy layer in the bottom of the flask or about 10 ml. of mixture. the remaining 90 ml of fluid in the top of the flask is regular gas. Has anyone thought of doing this in a larger scale such as a 5-10 gal. clear wine flask or something similar. The process would be the same with the only drawback being disposing of the Alcohol/water mix at the bottom after carefully siphoning off the straight gas from the top of the bottle. Time consuming, possibly dangerous and messy to be sure and the Gas Police may have some negative thoughts, but it would beat having to use the present Ethanol mix for a non-intended use in the old cars. "I'm only kidding", but it would work. Your spouse may have some concerns about using the bottle for home made wine in the future. I do know that the straight gas is piped to storage facilities around the state and then the Ethanol is added at the tanks (there is a storage facility about 1 mile from my place). The Ethanol is not shipped from the refinery, only added later from a distiller supply made in another plant. We have three Ethanol plants within 20 miles of my place that produce quite a volume of the stuff every year. John Holst, Iowa 300K that has access to straight gas nearly everywhere (fortunately).
