the real problem is that not only do the fuel and water not mix but water is is not very good as fuel!
Alcohol burns (some cars actually use this as fuel) and it mixes VERY well with water. Proof spirit is what we drink (if it's ethanol c2h5oh) and that burns. methanol (ch3oh) also mixes very well with water and and burns too!
Alcohol burns very differently to petrol but it will work. - some diesel fuel is 10% methanol.
iso propanol (C3H7OH) is another alcohol this works better for for getting things to mix a bit.
Remember methanol and (iso) propanol will both really damage your liver - to be fed to the bike only
use about as much alcohol as there is water in your fuel!
this will get things to run but will not help with the octane rating!
(New Zealander Burt Munro, who spent years building a 1920 Indian motorcycle a bike which helped him set the land-speed world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967 used his heart medicine for that as it contained nitroglycerin!)
