How do you conduct your no ethanol test?

i used plastic graduated 250 mil bottle. put 50 mil of water and slowly add 200 mil gas. you see the line between. then I shake it. with no ethanol separation line stays at 50. 5% moves it up to 60 and 10 moves it up to 70 as the ethanol and water join together.

Very good. Thanks

Safety notice: about wearing masks at gasoline stations
I've heard a rumor that CDC is now recommending that when we pull into gas station to put on a face mask BEFORE exiting the vec then start the gas pump and then BEFORE LOOKING AT THE GAS PUMP price updating put the mask UP OVER YOUR EYES.
This reduces somewhat the chance of HEART problems, blood pressure going high fast and depression.
