STEP 1.

If applicable, remove "yellow plastic object" from test tube.
(See notes below for explanation of "yellow insert", which is discarded by most).

Obtain sample of gasoline from tank or gas pump.
(A squirt tip clear dispensor bottle is provided).
- Visualize gas -
Fresh gas appears golden or straw colored and should not be cloudy or have any sediment.

STEP 2.
ADD water to the water line marked on the test tube provided.
(Amount water = approx. 2 tsp. = 10 cc).

STEP 3.

ADD fuel to the gasoline line.
(Amount fuel = approx. 4 tsp. = 18 cc =18 ml).

STEP 3A (optional)

ADD one drop blue Quik-Check solution to test-tube.

STEP 4.

INSERT rubber cap/stopper and shake vigorously.

STEP 5.

HOLD upright for several minutes until liquids settles.
Results (settling) will occur in 2 to 10 minutes.

STEP 6.

LOCATE the gasoline/water separation line and READ the scale.
The marking at level of separation indicates the percentage of alcohol present.


Perform testing in a well ventilated area, away from heat, fire and open flame - Gasoline is highly flammable.

Step-By-Step Instructions -  Gas Alcohol Fuel Testing

INSTRUCTIONS - ALCOHOL FUEL TEST KIT
Detailed instructions/literature are also included with order.

We recommend testing gasoline at time of purchase, directly from the gas station pump (before fill-up);
Continue to monitor fuel quality from gas tank or fuel lines, at frequent intervals, to detect early signs of gas water contamination and phase separation.

Testing Tips / More information

       -         Markings are in 5% increments from 0 to 30 %.

       -        A clear dispensor bottle is included to obtain gas directly from gas pump nozzle.
Collect fuel in a clean, dry glass jar or approved gas tank if you will be saving fuel to test later. (Baby food, sauce, jelly jars also work well).

-        Wear disposable gloves when testing (included), to prevent spillage on your hands.

       -         When possible stand tube upright while performing test, to leave both of your hands free to perform test and while waiting for results, (and to prevent spillage on your hands).

       -        Tube can be customized to read over 30% alcohol, by using a permanent marker and ruler. (It is about 3mm between each 5% raised marking on tube). Fuel-testers supplied (on request) removal labels that read up to 100%.

       -        "Yellow plastic object" and screwdriver of test tube is used mainly when testing fuel from aircraft engines; It's like a key to push up lever/needle valve to drain fuel. Discard if you have no use for it.

---------------------------------
Most auto and marine engines can tolerate up to 10% ethanol alcohol in fuel, which is the current federal and state legal limit for E10 gasoline. Check your state fuel laws for more information. (Limit may increase to 15% this year - E15).

Warning: Many fuel "additives" marketed and purchased by consumers contain ethanol and other types of alcohol.
View additive list.

Always check ingredients (MSDS) before adding any type of fuel additive to your fuel tank.
