This present invention provides a gasoline-ethanol separation apparatus which is used for an internal combustion engine, has a simple structure, and can separate a mixture fuel formed of mixed gasoline and ethanol into gasoline and ethanol. The gasoline-ethanol separation apparatus 1 includes a fuel tank 2 for accommodating a mixture fuel, a separation tank 4 for separating the mixture fuel supplied from the fuel tank 2 into the gasoline (A) and an ethanol-water mixture liquid (B), by mixing water supplied by water-supply means 3 with the mixture fuel, and storing the separated gasoline (A) and ethanol-water mixture liquid (B); pressurizing means 5 for pressurizing the gasoline (A) and the ethanol-water mixture liquid (B) in the separation tank 4 through the mixture fuel to be supplied into the separation tank 4; gasoline-taking-out means 6 for taking the gasoline (A) out from an upper part of the interface between the gasoline (A) and the ethanol-water mixture liquid (B) in the separation tank 4 to the outside of the separation tank 4 through a first on-off valve 62; and ethanol-taking-out means 7 for taking the ethanol-water mixture liquid (B) in the separation tank 4 out from a lower part of the interface to the outside of the separation tank 4 through a second on-off valve 72.
