According to a article in the latest Drag racing action mag there is a tester offered by Quick Fuel that will test the Ethanol content of your fuel, might be somthing to look into and it look's to be a decent article,,,guess I need to sit down and do some reading. now I need to try and find a station around these part's that sell's it.
Bill do you have any info or P/N on that tester or the article that you can post. I might have to see if I can get that mag
I have been happy with this method from the E85 handbook on the National Ethanol Vehicle Coalition website: http://www.e85fuel.com/pdf/storing-handling-e85.pdf Quote:
Procedure for Testing Hydrocarbon Percent of Ethanol Fuel Samples Based on SAE International Paper 912421 (Prepared by NEVC) Equipment for E85 testing VWR Scientific phone # 800-932-5000 50 mL pipettes; Cat. # 52966-217 pack of 12/$212.18 Safety Bulb; Cat. # 53497-202 pack of 3/$18.45 100 mL cylinders; Cat. # 24762-117 pack of 4/$120 Procedure • Using the suction bulb, pipette exactly 50 mL of fuel sample into the graduated cylinder. • Add about 48 mL of water to make the total liquid volume just less than 100 mL. • Place the stopper in the cylinder and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. • Carefully loosen the stopper to release any accumulated pressure; do not remove the stopper. • Close the stopper again and place the cylinder upright on a level surface. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes. • Record the total volume of liquid by reading the lowest part of the upper meniscus (the curved interface between the liquid and air). • Record the total volume of the alcohol/water layer by reading the lowest part of the lower meniscus (the curved interface between the two liquid layers). Calculation • The hydrocarbon percent is calculated by: 2.1 + 1.94 * (total volume - alcohol/water volume) • Assuming the sample was an ethanol/hydrocarbon mixture, the ethanol percent is 100 minus the hydrocarbon percent.
Example:
Upper 98 ml, lower 91 ml 2.1 + 1.94 x (98 - 91) = 15.68 ethanol = 100 - 15.68 = 84.3%
