Hi,
Have you thought about mixing water with the contaminated fuel very well and
then letting it stand to separate the water and oil. I THINK ethylene glycol is
much more soluable in water than in fuel oil. If you then decant the fuel, it
should have much less glycol in it. It might take more than one pass to remove
most of the glycol. Try an experiment with a small quantity in a jar and see if
it works. I've been told this is the way to separate sugar from fuel.
