Non ethanol? Maybe not

[coffeebrk]

What are you really buying?

Interesting fuel video

 

[buzz sawyer]

I've always put some into my truck before filling the cans. I used to test for ethanol content when I worked in a Chevy dealership, but not since. I can tell the difference from the smell as in the video. No mistaking the smell of ethanol.

My 2 local stations have small separate above ground tanks for e free. No worries there.

I groaned at it being a Chickanic video, but listened to it anyway.

Learned about residual fuel in the lines during my motorcycle days. Any station with one nozzle to service all grades of gasoline, you're getting a good chunk of whatever the last person bought. Now when I buy fuel, I always pump a few gallons of non-ethanol into the car or truck before I fill my cans, to clear the lines. Cheap insurance.

When I had my GTO, several times I told motorcyclists that I'd just filled my car with premium, so the line on the pump I just used had only premium in it. They usually appreciated it.

Buy from a place that only uses 1 hose for the E-free gas.

I wont watch the video as cant stand most of the boobtubers, but a real easy way to tell. Was in a thread here on it.

Clear glass mayo jar is what I use to test it. Our only station has a dedicated pump.

Not tried it yet but heard food coloring would disperse in ethanol but bead up on bottom in 100%., I already put oil in my 100% but I'll try it anyway.

Because its ethanol related....

Man I hate E Gas! Nothing but trouble and inconvenience. Just spent 120.00 to get 5 gallons of 93 non E canned gas.

I went and watched that video out of curiosity today.
I noticed something. Her E-free gas was not yellow like my E-free gas I get.
My E-free which is yellow is efree like always.

I just dont trust unknown boobtubers doing this stuff for the coin. Just something I caught in her video.

I was like that aint right, compared to mine anyways.

Thanks for confirming in another state.

Hey Kevin. @huskihl

Now back when I tested during a summer batch. See how Efree in glass jar didnt appear as yellow. The more yellow one above was poured into plastic cup.
Maybe because of smaller amounts like this the yellow dont show up as well and like her video? Who knows.

The one with dissolved food coloring is the Ethanol gas. Closer back then.

Wonder if something changed. Wondering if more dye added.

I think the mixture of gasoline is always changing and evolving depending on what’s in the ground and what needs to be refined out versus left in in order to still call it gasoline. I doubt we would get exactly the same product from two different gas stations in the same town
