Davis, M E; Sung, R L

This patent describes a process for 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 0.1 to 0.5 volume percent of contaminating water. The process consists of adding to the water-saturated gasoline, from about 0.5 to about 1.8 weight percent of a nonanionic surfactant of an adduct of soya sterol and a polyalkylene oxide.
