I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder... Would too much
ethanol would make the gas smell or feel funny during the sampling?

Nope. Unlike the old (legal for airplanes) oxygenate, MTBE, the presence
of ethanol is not obvious by odor or appearance. You just have to mix the
fuel with some water and shake it up in order to test it (at least in
quantites used for oxygenated car gas). E-85, on the other hand, seems to
be detectable by smell. Although pure ethanol has no odor, E-85 has a
noticably weaker gasoline component to its odor.
