Private user ethanol removal system

摘要

Removing ethanol from fuel by admitting the ethanol-containing fuel into a contained amount of water which is then mixed such that the ethanol-containing fuel may readily be separated into another container. Water and ethanol have an affinity for each other and separate away from the now ethanol-free fuel, and the water/ethanol mixture settles to a lower portion of the container. Once separated, the ethanol free fuel is readily removed into a separate container. The alcohol (ethanol) and water mixture is a valuable by-product of the invention, and is collected separately.

主权项

1. A method of removing ethanol from fuel in a system having contained water, by the steps consisting essentially of:
mixing ethanol-containing fuel into the contained water to thereby allow the mixture to float in the contained water in the system; continuing to introduce more ethanol-containing fuel into the system while mixing the fuel and the water during a continuous operation of said ethanol removal; allowing the water and ethanol to settle away from the ethanol free fuel; and draining ethanol free fuel away from the water.
