Evaluation of the Performance of Filter Separators with Gasohol

Abstract

This report covers decontamination tests conducted on military standard filter/coalescer elements using unleaded gasoline and unleaded Gasohol (10 percent ethanol in gasoline). The use of Gasohol demonstrated improved solids removal ability over that of gasoline. Water removal efficiency could not be measured adequately as the injection of water caused separation of the Gasohol into two phases. Filter coalescer elements used with Gasohol act as contacting columns in the presence of water: their use is not recommended when water is present.
