It only takes a very small amount of water to pull the alcohol out of gasoline. Per gallon, just a few drops will do it. No need to fill the mason jar all the way up. In fact, leave an open mason jar out for a few hours to absorb some moisture in the air. Over night outside for example. In the morning, look and see; there will be a stratus of alcohol sitting on the bottom of the jar.
This is especially bad for 2-stroke motors that rely on oil mixed in the fuel for lubrication. If a few drops of water gets in the gas tank, the alcohol is pulled out, settles to the bottom and the engine is subjected to a 'dry' charge of fuel that is without oil and the motor can seize.
