Watery chainsaw fuel

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I think Moss Road might be on to something.

How much water are we talking vs how much fuel? You should be able to decant the fuel off the top down to a cupful or so. The water will stay in the can. Of course don't shake the can first as we all apparently do....

Gas does wonders for fire-ants.

I keep lidded 5 gallon buckets that hold primarily waste oil. Any waste gas also gets dumped in. Then I burn it on brush piles.

I also keep a lidded 5 gallon bucket of waste oil and old chainsaw gas around for lighting brush piles. If there is too much gas in the mix, I stand back about 20 feet and use 4th of July bottle rockets to ignite the pile.

Matches and gasoline doesn't sound like a good idea, but what's the process? Does this work? Does the sand act like a slow wick for the fumes? Ratio of sand to gas?
Don't the fumes just explode when you approach with a match?

Well, a bucket of sand and don't fill over the level of sand. Let it sit for a bit, stand upwind and throw a match. You can make a sorta fuse by dribbling gas in a line away from the bucket and then throwing a match. If you've spilled gas on yourself or clothes don't strike a match.

Even better, bury the bucket in dirt. Then you can easily heat an item over it.
