Default Testing MoGas

even though the pumps here in Iowa
are clearly labeled. Well, a guy on a Cherokee 235 mail group has come
up with the following method to test for water AND alcohol at the same
time -- tell me what you think of this:

1. Put fuel in cup.
2. Add 1/4 of an alka-seltzer to fuel
3. If no fizz, no water OR alcohol is present.

Jay,

Sorry if this is obvious, but...

Get some ethanol enhanced gas from a labeled pump and try it. If it
reacts to known alcohol and dosen't to know good gas, then it ought to
be OK.
