I was wondering if it is possible to remove the ethanol from mogas and
thought of the folling idea.
Alcohol binds with water.
Get a big tank with a spigot at the bottom, fill it with mogas.
Add water, aggitate, let sit.
The alcohol ladden water will settle to the bottom.
Open the spigot, drain the water.
You now have alcohol free mogas.
What am I missing here?

The remaning gasoline isn't the same as what you would buy if you got
gasoline without ethanol - gasoline with ethanol is blended taking in
account the fact that ethanol will be added. (octane, distillation curves,
etc.) Then there is the question of additives - would they stay with the
gasoline, or with the ethanol?
