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.

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.

Yeah, it's listed here...along with other sources.
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...

Hey thanks! I have never seen this before. Gives me a reason for a short road trip!
