All you do is mix it with water, shake, leave, and drain away the water. However, its not really practical to keep doing it to fill a car.

It’s great that you’re not spending money on equipment or consumables to do the separation, however if you get all the ethanol out, you end up with only 90% of the fuel you paid for.
On average, premium unleaded is 10p a litre more than regular E10 but at current prices, removing the ethanol leaves you short of 15p worth of your E10. Yes it’s only 5p but even for a lawnmower it hardly seems worth doing the chemistry.
I dunno maybe it’s just me. I started putting premium in mine last season. No stress no fuss … it actually seemed to sound happier, although that’s not saying much for my knackered old machine. Then we moved house and I left it behind anyway. I have a smaller lawn and an electric mower now.
