The amount of water that gasoline or a gasoline alcohol blend can hold depends on temperature. If the mixture is saturated and the temperature subsequently reduced, there will be phase separation with the excess water settling to the bottom. The lower the temperature, the less water need be present to have phase separation. Even at 0 degrees, an E10 blend can hold more than 0.3% water without phase separation. Properly handled and stored gas will not have that much water in it.
Adding a 12oz bottle of methanol when you put 20 gallons of E10 in your tank, will run the total alcohol content from 10% up to nearly 10.5%. That will let the fuel hold a little more water, or equivalently bring the temperature of phase separation down a little. But if your fuel is that contaminated, you have other problems.
