Ethanol seperation tutorial
Seems simple and logical enough. Some kind of clear tubing to let the ethanol settle to the bottom and a draining valve. Found it interesting so i stole it to repost here...

Interesting, but too much work. One of the comments sums it up for me
"You have now produced hazardous waste and will have to pay to properly dispose of the ethanol. I suggest you just purchase your fuel from a high through-put, top tier station (Shell, Texaco, CostCo, Chevron, etc.) and ride your bike often to not allow the fuel to set an absorb moisture from the air. If you have to let your bike set for an extended period of time use a fuel stabilizer like Sta-Bil Marine or SeaFoam, (I prefer SeaFoam) go for a short run to get the treated fuel through the system, top off the tank and park it. For all the time you take to make "ethanol free gas" you could be out riding."
I've been using Stabil marine (blue stuff) for many years in outboards with good luck. I use a maintenance dose in my bike maybe 50% of time to keep the ethanol gremlins at bay.It works for me!1981 gs650L

Put it in the oil from your oil changes and take it to the recycle drum at your local auto parts place.
EDIT...since both water and ethanol evaporate why not just set the bucket outside and let nature reclaim it naturally??Last edited by chuck hahn; 08-27-2015, 04:48 PM.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I know I might catch some flack from this, but the use I would have for this byproduct would be to kill off the pesky blackberries that keep popping up all over my property. i'm just talking about pouring enough to kill the roots. those things are what I imagine Satan's pubic hairs to be like.

It's a non-issue. I have never had a problem with E10 gasoline in any vehicle. Motorcycle, car, truck, lawn mower, weed eater, or what have you. Why would I go to all of that trouble to cure a "problem" that doesn't exist?

Some states dont have many ( if any ) ethanol free stations. We are blessed around here to have way too many to choose from.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
