George,
If you can't find one locally, it would be very simple to make your own tester using a small olive jar, or a test tube.

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
