ethanol removal

Adding oil is like adding kerosene - it makes self ignition much easier. Japanese saboteurs dissolved paraffin in US avgas stores in the Pacific in WWII to wreck the octane.

I have to question your comment with my common knowledge. Adding kerosene or diesel fuel to gasoline does not make it easier to ignite,,,it makes it harder. Throw gas on a fire and you have an explosion, throw diesel fuel on and you have a bigger fire.

Octane is all about slowing down the burn.

A gas engine will run on diesel/kerosene. I have personal experience. During the war farmers ran their tractors on diesel, started it on gas then switched to diesel.

Back in my younger days when we couldn't always afford gas we would "occasionally" siphon gas out of a field tractor and drive on that. We always had a little can of gas along to start the old low compression chevy.

I believe paraffin would gum up the injectors or carb jets??

Just adding fuel to the fire
