Let me add a footnote to my own post. If that were not true, all booze
would be 200 proof. :-)

water can be absorbed in a cars gasoline tank? Is that a function of time,
i.e the longer it sits there, the more water it absorbs?

Jerry you posed the same question a few months back.

Don't know, but it seems reasonable that there would be some limit.
Absorbed water however, is less of a problem than condensed. Many years
ago, there was "dry gas" (alcohol but I think it was methanol) that one
added to the gas tank to absorb (remove) water.

Gasoline and water do not mix well at all.

Ethanol will mix well with both gasoline or with water.

Ethanol mixed with water will mix with gasoline.

Think of Ethanol as a catalyst to allow the water to dissolve in
the
gasoline..

In a gas tank, there are only small amounts of water involved -
