Hope I am not derailing the thread, but would like to understand the logic behind trying to get the ethanol out of gasoline.

PS in the '80's I sold funnels that had a Stainless steel mesh fine enough that it would allow gasoline to pass but not water. I still have one which I never use and no longer know the source or if it is still in business.
I just let it separate, usually. I do have a funnel like that, though.
