Ok, here's a thought experiment to kick around.

If water can be used to detect ethanol in fuel, why can't it be used to remove it?

For example, put say 1 litre of water in the fuel can. Add fuel as required. Shake well / leave overnight. Decant the fuel from the top, maybe using a water separating funnel (I use all the time anyway)

What's left in the fuel can / funnel will be your original water with any ethanol in solution.

Not suggesting you do this of course, but what about the principle?
