This patent describes a process of making a clear, stable gasoline blend from a hazy, water-saturated gasoline containing a mixture of hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range, from about 2.0 to about 12.0 volume percent of methanol, from about 2.0 to about 10.0 volume percent of a cosolvent (C/sub 2/-C/sub 5/) aliphatic alcohol, and from about 0.1 to about 0.5 volume percent of contaminating water. The process consists of adding to the water-saturated gasoline from about 0.05 to about 3.0 weight percent of a nonionic surfactant of an aminated polyisopropoxylated polyethoxylated alkylphenol.
