Why not make your own ethanol-free gas? Take a translucent five gallon plastic square container, add four gallons ethanol gas and one gallon water, and mix. Turn upside down and let it settle. The water will absorb the ethanol and settle to the bottom. Then simply drain off the water/ethanol mix, and what is left is pure, ethanol-free gas. Note: Premium 91/93 octane ethanol gas is made by adding ethanol to 87 octane regular (non-ethanol) gas so removing the ethanol from premium leaves you 87 octane real gas.
