SETUP

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.
