"Make a mark on a (graduated) test tube about 2 inches from the bottom
and fill it with the gasoline to be tested. Top the test tube with
water, shake it and allow to stand. If the gasoline contains ethanol,
the level of the solution will rise, as ethanol is absorbed by water.
This would prove the presence of ethanol in the gasoline."

Amoco white gas used to be the best gasoline since it was nearly pure
octane and needed no lead or other additives. It was costly to refine
and the price reflected that cost. Not sure if Amoco premium is still
"white gas" since blue color has been added. Nevertheless, it works well
in my small engines and there is no residue at the beginning of the next
season.
Unfortunately there is no longer any available locally.

How do you make sure that the gasoline that you're buying is not contaminated
with ethanol? The Toyota Sienna Minivan got a fillip of premium today. I
read some time ago on this list that premium gas isn't blended. I don't want
any gas containing ethanol
in the van since it doesn't get driven much.
