Seems to be something used sucessfully in marine applications. Wonder if it would incorporate well with E-85 use.

*** note recommendations for ethanol use.

Water is soluble in ethanol, so mechanical separation is gonna be tough. Think physical separation, like moonshine still.

Ya I read about it collecting waer during storage. I know it cannot be used in aircraft because of this.

Don't store it. And even if you do, I've use ethanol that's been sitting around for six months or so just fine. They make water injection kits for actually adding water into the cylinder through individual injectors so I'm sure a little of it does not hurt anything

Get a fuel tester. Most the people I know who are running e85 are not getting e85. Just be careful if your tuned for that.
