Default Why do you think there is water in the ethanol that gas stations sell?

What I've heard about it is that water and ethanol mix in an extreme range
of proportions, and gasoline and ethanol do, too. But when there is more
than 3% or 4% water in the ethanol, it won't mix with gasoline.

So a strong shot of ethanol will absorb water in your gas tank, but if
there's too much water, the resulting solution won't mix with the gas. And
gas/ethanol mixtures that pick up too much water will separate the gas and
the ethanol.

Or so I've read.



Hold on, non-gasohol gasoline doesn't absorb water.

Gasohol with shall we say, dry ethanol, can absorb some water.


Isn't that exactly what it says above?





Clair says .63 oz of water will mix with 128 oz of E10 gasohol. Okay, still thinking .63
oz into 12.8 oz of ethanol. 4.+% . Okay, I got it, you got it. It was past my bed time
last night.
