Hmm not worried about pressure as I would do it in an open container BUT if more than the ethanol is going to evaporate that is a problem since it would be very polluting and wasteful of gasoline.

Right now I "wash" the gas. What bothers me is there is no way to remove all the water and I have no idea what ELSE is being "removed" when I wash the gas. IE will it hurt my car. It seems to have no effect so far (except to give me back my massive MPG losses!! 8-10mpg gain for my metro)

I noticed after settling there is a lot of particulate matter that is ALSO washed out (looks like thousands of little white worms or threads) I assume its one or more of the chemicals mixed in with the gasoline since there is no external contamination possible in the process (they are sealed)

Just trying to figure out a better way to remove the ethanol especially now that they want to goto E15
