hey basjoos got a question for you I know its an old post but I am rereading the entire thread in case I missed something as suggested

with the cahmois leather. LOOSE water is not a problem I have gotten very good at getting rid of that. What about water in SOLUTION. from what I understand gas can hold upto 13% water in solution.

will this method you describe remove THAT water? ie the water you can not see?

I have no idea exactly how much ethanol is in each batch of gas so I can not "weigh" the waste to know how much "water" is left in the fuel.

so I have no idea how much water I am putting in the engine. I WOULD wash long term if I could reliably remove the water so its safe for my engine.
