[QUOTE="A Nut, post: 158746, member: 2005"] Find a horticultural supplier and buy yourself a Briggs & Stratton Gasohol tester B & S part no 795161. You can easily test your local Esso Superplus fuel to see if there is any ethanol in it. We have tested 2 local Esso Superplus fuels and found them to be ethanol free despite the fact they say E5 on the pumps. On questioning Esso they said they were obliged to do this. Shell however does have ethanol in their Super plus. The station managers insist that there isn't any BUT THERE IS! This piece of kit is easy to use. put a measured quantity of water into the container, add the required amount of petrol and shake it. If there is any ethanol in the petrol it will mix with the water and you can read off the %. If there is none the amount of water stays the same. We have had glassfibre tanks blistering and steel tanks rusting using ethanol in the petrol at 5% in the Mid Glos Section. AVGas 100LL is the best stuff but of course it is illegal to use it in road vehicles as despite its price it does not have any fuel duty. ANut [/QUOTE]
