Gasohol

Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label gasoline contaminated with alcohol?

Good article he http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Gasoline.html

I just did the add water to gas test on a couple of local gas sources and all contain alcohol, and none of the pumps
said anything about it. The feds just dropped the requirement to label the pumps and we all missed it?

Jay, where do you fill the grape from and how do you know there is no evil alcohol in it?

In the Twin Cities (St Paul / Mpls) the pumps with NO ethanol are marked
special. About 1 in 50 stations has such a pump - and it's usually 93
Premium ...Non-Oxy.

Minnesota gas stations with Non-Oxy gas. That's the whole state!

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

I'm pretty sure Mass. is already there. I don't know if there's a minimum,
but we've got 10% ethanol everywhere now.

Same in CT.

I think most, if not all, of the Northeastern states sell the same
blend, no longer labeling the pumps for the 10% alchohol content.

How is the add water to gas test made ? Thanks

Haven't noticed any change, here in the heart of ethanol-land...

We test each tank using the "alka-seltzer test". This involves
putting fuel in a cup that contains 1/3 tablet of alka-seltzer, and
observing the results.

If it fizzes, it's got water, ethanol, or both in it. It if doesn't,
it's pure gas.

I'm curious. I can understand a whole tablet, a half tablet, or a quarter
tablet. What is magic about a THIRD of a tablet?

Here in Ontario I was told not all gasoline must have 5% alky, but 5%
of all fuel sold must be alky - so 50% of all fuel sold being E10
satisfies the requirement. In practice, virtually all 87 octane will
be e10. Premium 91 will (from some companies, at least) be E0, making
the blended 89 E5. Since significantly over half the gasoline sold in
Ontario is 87 octane, this would excede the requirements. - Just from
what I've been told, but you can never trust the elected idiots, or
worse yet the beurocrats
