Reply To: Ethanol in Petrol, engine coolant and tyre pressures

Re Ethanol in petrol, I remember reading on some American forum that it is perfectly possible to remove ethanol from petrol, and don’t quote me here, by adding water to a gallon or more and shaking it until the ethanol dissolves in the water then leaving it to settle in a container with a bottom tap.  Once settled the water mixture can be drained off leaving ethanol free petrol.  No idea if it works or, more to the point, if its safe to mess with petrol in this way, seems very unwise to me, let alone the extraordinary faffing involved!!  Don’t think I’ll be trying it but it’s amazing what some people will do!  That’s lockdown for you.  Ron
