Title: Soon to be very popular
Post by: Ian on July 14, 2021, 06:19:45 PM
I know I posted a similar video a few days ago but this one is made in UK and as the title states, I believe it will become very popular in months to come. I realise it may seem to be a bit of a faff but it will save a good few engines and ancillaries in the long run.

interesting...if you have clear plastic fuel hose on a bike tank could you just add water/colouring to the tank and let it settle, then before you start it drain of the `coloured` mix until it becomes clear/petrol coloured ?  or am i being thick ?

Interesting.  I do like the idea of using colouring for the water, makes it much easier.  I wonder how much octane rating you lose. I do know at least one person who does this regularly.  Such a pain to pay all that money for 10% that you are just going to remove and chuck away.  Or perhaps a still is in order, now what could I do with some pure ethanol?
Does anyone know any others who have done this?
Cheers, Richard.
