- You can feel your car weaker if running on high water content gas (MeOH)
- I have not checked, but MeOH evaporates much better than H2O. You can dip a filter paper into the gas and see how fast it evaporates
- One way to remove H2O out of MeOH is to use some kinds of adsorbers

* The best way is to bring samples for analysis and then fine the gas station

I would recommend using a moisture meter or a hydrometer to check for the presence of water in the methanol gas dryer. These tools can accurately measure the amount of water in the gas and determine if it needs to be removed.

If the gas dryer does contain water, it can be removed through a process called dehydration. This involves passing the gas through a drying agent, such as silica gel or molecular sieves, which can absorb the water molecules and remove them from the gas. It is important to follow proper safety procedures and guidelines when performing this process.

I would also suggest regularly checking and maintaining the gas dryer to prevent the buildup of water in the future. This can include keeping the dryer clean, checking for any leaks, and replacing any worn out parts. This will ensure the efficient and safe operation of the dryer.
