Ethanol Adulteration

This is the question you asked, in case you forgot:
Read op again. You have missed a question.

BTW since you were talking about context, establishing context is to take the entire post into account, not extract couple of sentences from an entire post.
 
Since you won't say what country he's in, how can we answer this?
You don't know which US products help in neutralizing excess ethanol? Then yes, you won't be able to answer. Not that you have tried to answer anything thus far except.......

Then perhaps you're better off moving on to a thread where you are able to answer.

There are no products or additives that “neutralize” ethanol, excess or otherwise. The only way to do that would be to remove it or cause it to drop out somehow. Perhaps washing the fuel with water.

I hear if you just let it sit in a humid environment, it takes care of that on its own.
 
I used the word adulteration because he used it. That's how he presented the situation to me.

Then your friend used the term incorrectly, as many have pointed out.
According to him their govt has successfully pursued higher emissions standards by holding manufacturers accountable but at the same time they are allowing too much ethanol to be used.
As many countries are doing in an effort to raise oxygenate levels.
Perhaps we can ask, what % of ethanol is considered too much?
Engine design and fuel programming dictate how much would be too much.
Would you recommend any fuel additives to balance things out? If yes, what are they?
There are no such additives to do this.
 
Ethanol adulteration would be using a different compound other than EtOH. Such as methanol.

I was thinking the topic might just be another way of saying "denatured". Fuel ethanol is made with up to 5% gasoline such that it can't be used to make beverages. There are beverages made from industrial neutral ethanol, like some vodka or up to 50% of the alcohol in tequila that's not labelled as 100% agave.
