YOUR TANK

VEHICLE (optional: auto-fills tank size)

THE PUMPS

“E85” at the pump legally ranges E51–E83 by season. Test it if you can.

TARGET

TEST YOUR FUEL tube-tester helper

Fill the tube with water to a line, top up with fuel, cap and shake, then let it settle. Ethanol bonds to the water and raises the separation line. Enter the three readings and skip the printed scale.

Approximate: it ignores the small volume shrink when water and ethanol mix, same as most testers' printed scales.

No tester yet? Grab a tube tester on Amazon. A few bucks, lives in the glovebox.

THE MIX

E30 RESULTING BLEND
ADD E85 0.00 gal

After the fill: 16.0 gal in the tank at E30. Estimates only. Always verify your fuel system, tune, and ethanol content before running high blends.
