Has anyone ever done the ethanol test with positive results?
Lately ethanol has been added to gas in the major cities as a means to cut
down on ground water contamination. In these cases, it says so on the
pump.
They add about 10% ethanol.
Ethanol, I am guessing, can probably hold about 2% water in
solution, but not more than that for over an hour or more when emulsified
droplets have coalesced.
So here I am thinking, if you are able to notice 2% of 10% = 2/1000
difference in your water level in a mayonnaise jar after shaking it up and
letting it sit for an hour, you have quite an eye...
Furthermore. The only danger I can think of with ethanol is if it freezes
up while in flight above 30,000 feet maybe... or in the dead of winter.
The fuel pump diaphragm is not affected by ethanol, why not use it in warm
climates and altitudes below 10,000 feet?
