Today, at the classic car show, I had a chat with someone selling a kit to remove ethanol from petrol. I go her to explain exactly how the kit worked and how it removed the ethanol. It turned out to be really simple and didn't actually require the kit a all to do it. All you actually need is a reasonable size petrol proof container. Like a plastic jerry can and a bit of water.
So, the procedure is like this. Fill the jerry can 3/4 full with petrol and top up with water then shake like mad for a few minutes or until your arms feel like they are about to fall off. Then leave it to settle for a few hours or overnight. The water will absorb all the ethanol and sink to the bottom. You then syphon off the fuel from the top and throw away the water/ethanol.
I told the girl that just putting the additive in every tank full sounded like a much easier way of dealing with it and she agreed.
