Test Kit Instructions - AFTK: Gas Alcohol Fuel Testing
STEP 1.
Before use, remove yellow plastic probe inside test tube; Probe is included for aircraft use to obtain sample from quick drain valves. (See image below).
Obtain sample of gasoline from tank or gas pump.
(A squirt tip clear dispensor bottle is provided).
- Visualize gas -
Fresh gas appears clear (not cloudy), straw-colored and without any visible sediment or particles. E85 is lighter, almost colorless.
STEP 2.
ADD water to “WATER” level line on tester (test tube).
(Water amount is less than 1 tablespoon, about 8cc).
STEP 3.
ADD fuel exactly to the “GAS” line, located in upper portion of tube.
(Gasoline amount is about 2 tablespoons).
STEP 3A (optional)
ADD 1 drop Quik-Check™ indicator solution (QCS) to
enable easier viewing of separation line.
STEP 4.
INSERT rubber stopper and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
STEP 5.
HOLD upright and let stand until liquid settles.
Usually takes about 2-3 minutes, but may take up to 10 minutes.
STEP 6. – READ RESULTS –
LOCATE the gasoline/water separation line and READ the scale.
The marking at level of separation indicates the percentage of alcohol present.
Raised markings are in 5% increments from 0 to 30%. (E0 E5 E10 E15 E20 E25+ E30).
Removable labels are available on request for reading from 30 to 100%.
Perform testing in a well ventilated area, away from heat, fire and open flame - Gasoline is highly flammable.
Most auto and marine engines can tolerate up to 10% ethanol alcohol in fuel, which is the federal and state legal limit for E10 gasoline. Check your state fuel laws for more information. Review U.S. Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS). E15 is now being sold - Beware: 10% is still the maximum amount approved by conventional engine manufacturers!
Warning: Many fuel additives marketed and purchased by consumers contain ethanol and other types of alcohol.
Always check ingredients (MSDS) before adding any type of fuel additive to your fuel tank.

03/2018: AFTK INSTRUCTIONS - Fueltester Ethanol Gas Testing.
Step-By-Step INSTRUCTIONS -
ALCOHOL FUEL TEST KIT (AFTK)
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.
Detailed instructions/literature are included with test kit.
For easiest viewing of test results we recommend use of Quik-Check solution. Turns only alcohol and water (bottom layer) blue.

Is the EPA protecting you or the ethanol lobbyists?
BUYER BEWARE: Over 95% of gasoline sold at public gas pumps now contains ethanol=E10.
E15 gas update: E15 is now being sold in over 10 states.
Most engine manufacturers still do NOT approve of use of this new fuel type.
It's shocking that the EPA would approve of a gasoline type that is not recommended or approved for use by the engine's manufacturers. Since E15 approved (2010), illegal over-blending of E10 type has worsened.
Ethanol-free is the preferred fuel choice for most specialty engines:
Ethanol-free, "pure-gas" is no longer available at most public pumps - 95% of gas sold is E10 type.
View list for help locating E0 ethanol-free gas pumps.
Sign Petition: Reclaim your right to buy pure-gas that does NOT contain any alcohol.
A Fuel Fest Kit will help you to protect your gas-powered engines
from alcohol blend fuel damage.
