Phase seperation is when you add water to the gas / ethanol mix and the
ethanol / water seperates out. The ammount of water required to do this
depends on the ethanol concentration and the temperature - so things might
be OK on the ground where it's warm...

The water / ethanol mix will be too "lean" for you engine and the gasoline
left behind will have a lower octane than the gasoline / ethanol blend that
may or may not be adequate for your needs.
