\u201cIf you fill the tester up to this line with water first, then fill it to the top line with gasoline that was in your car.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce it\u2019s filled you shake it up to mix it all and then let it sit for five minutes. If you let it sit for 10 minutes it now shows that it’s probably about 22 percent ethanol.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow that\u2019s no surprise because I syphoned it out of a customer car that wasn\u2019t running right. No one could figure out why and I thought, well that’s check the ethanol level, and it’s almost twice what it should be.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo if you\u2019re worried about your gas supply, hey, put a little in a can, buy one of these testers and you can see what\u2019s really in the gasoline.\u201d<\/p>\n
