This present invention provides a gasoline-ethanol separation apparatus which is used for an internal combustion engine, and can separate a mixture fuel formed of mixed gasoline and ethanol into gasoline and ethanol. The gasoline-ethanol separation apparatus 1 includes a fuel tank 2 for accommodating a mixture fuel, a separation tank 4 for separating the mixture fuel supplied from the fuel tank 2 into the gasoline (A) and an ethanol-water mixture liquid (B), by mixing water supplied by water-supply means 3 with the mixture fuel, and storing the separated mixture liquid (B); pressurizing means 5 for pressurizing the mixture liquid (B) to be supplied into the separation tank 4; gasoline-taking-out means 6 for taking the gasoline (A) out of the tank from an upper part of the interface between the gasoline (A) and the ethanol-water mixture liquid (B) first valve 62; and ethanol-taking-out means 7 for taking the ethanol-water mixture liquid (B) out of the separation tank 4 through a second valve 72.

What is claimed is: 1. A gasoline-ethanol separation apparatus for separating a mixture fuel formed of mixed gasoline and ethanol into gasoline and an ethanol-water mixture liquid by mixing water with the mixture fuel, comprising:a fuel tank for accommodating the mixture fuel;water-supply means for supplying water to be mixed into the mixture fuel;a separation tank which separates the mixture fuel into the gasoline and the ethanol-water mixture liquid by mixing water supplied by the water-supply means with the mixture fuel supplied from the fuel tank, and stores the separated gasoline and the ethanol-water mixture liquid therein;a flow-path-forming member having an inner circumference with through holes located within the separation tank, the flow-path-forming member changing a direction of gasoline and ethanol-water mixture liquid moving in the separation tank;pressurizing means for pressurizing the gasoline and the ethanol-water mixture liquid stored in the separation tank through the mixture fuel to be supplied from the fuel tank into the separation tank;gasoline-taking-out means for taking the gasoline out from an upper part of an interface between the gasoline and the ethanol-water mixture liquid stored in the separation tank to the outside of the separation tank through a first on-off valve; andethanol-taking-out means for taking the ethanol-water mixture liquid stored in the separation tank out from a lower part of the interface from within the inner circumference of the flow-path-forming member to the outside of the separation tank through a second on-off valve.
