Water sinks in gasoline. Whatever size bottle you want to think about, it's heavier when it's
full of water, and lighter when it's full of gasoline.
Small aircraft, with their fuel tanks in their wings, used to have small bleeder valves in the
underside of the wing, where water was drained from the tank before flight. It was on the
bottom, because any water that condenses in the tank, or gets in there by any means, always
sinks in the gasoline and winds up at the bottom of the tank.

Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3.
Gasoline has a density ranging from 0.71 g/cm3 to 0.77 g/cm3.
Because ethanol has a higher density than gasonline it will sink to the bottom.

∙ 13y agoNormally, alcohol will mix with gasoline. Before companies added alcohol to gasoline, people had a problem with water in the gasoline. Water would accumulate in the bottom of gas tanks. It would cause gas tanks to rust out. Alcohol mixes with both water and gasoline. As a result water now mixes with the alcohol mixed with the gasoline. Gas tanks no longer rust out.
