Great information. The phase separation qualities are liklely to pose quite a challenge to all boaters.

From Chevron's site-

"Housekeeping at the service station is very important to prevent water contamination. This water sensitivity also means that extra care should be taken when gasoline oxygenated with ethanol is used as a fuel for boat engines. Ethanol blends are hygroscopic (absorb moister from the air) and in time can phase separate during storage if the tank is vented to the atmosphere and is subject to breathing as a result of temperature changes."

I am going to start a tank cleaning business!
