Eliacim, You have a good point about the percentage of ethanol in the gasoline. I think the only way to know for sure is to test it. There is also the issue of the "separation stage" of the ethanol-blend. Apparently there is a shelf life for gasohol that is significantly shorter than the shelf life of regular gasoline. The recommendation is that you don't keep the ethanol-blend around for long or it starts to separate out into alcohol and gasoline. Maybe this is another way to get the alcohol out??? (Just another thought to go with John's use of water.)
As for the mixture of avgas and mogas, that is explicitely allowed by the EAA STC for mogas. There is no problem legally for the owner of the mogas STC to operate with 100LL mixed with mogas.
