How to test for ethanol
Good video. I also posted this on the 911 Tech board. My other question....anybody know where I could buy one of these test vials?
YouTube - Test gasoline for ethanol

Paul,
A buddy of mine said that there is ethanol free premium at Detroit Lake. He said his motorcycle ran significantly better on it. That was this summer. I have no idea if it is still being sold there or not. Larry |

We do it in airplanes all the time. There are some sellers with containers that actually remove the ethanol from the fuel.

Mix in enough water, the ethanol will separate right out.

Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada I'd still like one of those vials tho...with the percentage lines. A local wrench was telling me that some of the "10% ethanol" being sold here is actually a much higher %age...
