Does Your Gasoline Contain Ethanol?

Using a tall clear container (with a sealing lid), fill it about 1/10 full of water and mark this level on the container. Fill the rest of the container with gasoline, cover it and shake well. Allow a couple of minutes for the mixture to settle and check the apparent water level against the mark. If the water level has risen above the mark, the ethanol has been drawn into the water. If it stays the same you have ethanol free gas.
