Any recipe for homemade fuel water remover?

Featured Replies

Instead of using Heet i'm sure there is a cheaper way or even better way of removing water from gas. I know the main ingredient is Isopropyl Alcohol. I don't know if you can buy IPA off the shelf tho

I was under the impression that HEET was pretty cheap. Like $1.99 a bottle. You shouldn't need more than a couple bottles.

 

I guess if you wanted to get complicated, you could put a fuel/water separator off of a diesel car/truck on there. Big capacity fuel filters with that setup.

Regular Rubbing Alcohol has 70% isopropyl in it-just run your tank low on fuel and add. Good luck, been using it for yrs. Dave

the other 30% is water, which sort of defeats the purpose. The isopropyl dry gas is cheap, I use that.

If you look you can usually get 90%(IIRC) Isoprpyl on the shelf of the drugstore. But I think some denatured alchol (mostly ethanol with methanol added to poison you on purpose if you try to drink it) from the paint depertment would work and be a little cheaper than dry gas from the carparts place.

Forget the idea of denatured alcohol. It's a LOT more expensive than Heet. Check out the paint department at Home Depot or Lowes.
