Mark,
Thanks! didn't think of the water
mixing qualities of alcohol.

George,
Basically, it is a test tube with markings up the side. First
you fill it to the lower mark with water (approx. 1/2"), then you fill to the
upper mark with gasoline. Put the cap on it and shake, let it sit.
After allowing a few minutes for it to settle, you compare the water level
after shaking to the water level before shaking. The difference
represents alcohol. The kit I have is made (or marketed) by Briggs &
Stratton and is available from the local farm supply. It has marks
showing the percentage of alcohol content.

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. JohnD
