<div>No it does not. Water is totally miscible in the methanol and will not come out of solution. Methanol could be dried using silica gel, an industrial desiccant, by passing the fuel through a filtering bed containing the desiccant.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There was a study done a few years ago by Joe Wagner</div>
<div> or Peter Chinn I believe (noted engine men) who added a considerable percentage to regular model fuel and got surprising results....the engine produced more power. The theory was that oxygen available from the decomposition of water was available for more complete combustion of the fuel. Of course, that's at full throttle.....I would question the transition qualities of any water containing fuel, and transition is what we drive for most. </div>

<div>Pete, if you haven't done it yet, it would be worthwhile to actually run the stuff before making any decisions as to what to do next</div>
