Title: Dry Ethanol
Post by: hotrhodium on July 02, 2005, 03:13:08 AM

Anyone know what chemicals are used to "Dry" Ethanol before it is put in Gas like E85 Or E15? And maby other things like Octane Boosters? Even if you dont know but have some "H2O getters" in mind I would be thankful for your input.
