George, we use the fuel check tube that you use to
see if water is in the fuel. You put an inch of water up to a mark on the
tube, put in 2 or 2 1/2 inch of fuel, gave a shake and when the water settles it
will either be at the same mark or higher, as the alcohol, if present, will
mix with the water to give a higher level of water/alcohol in the
tube. JohnD

One of the fellows in the Short Wing Piper Club
wasn't checking his fuel (Michigan has a law now that the pumps do not have
to be labeled) and he brought the rubber hoses that had connected the
wing tanks to the airframe, one was completely clogged and the other was
near. Sunday I got 20 gal at the Shell station and checked it and
it didn't have any Alcohol in it. Still safe this week.
