Test Kit Instructions - AFTK: Gas Alcohol Fuel Testing

STEP 1.

If applicable, remove "yellow plastic object" from test tube.

(See notes below for explanation of "yellow insert", which is discarded by most).

Obtain sample of gasoline from tank or gas pump.

(A squirt tip clear dispensor bottle is provided).

- Visualize gas -

Fresh gas appears golden or straw colored and should not be cloudy or have any sediment.

STEP 2.

ADD water to the water line marked on the test tube provided.

(Amount water = approx. 2 tsp. = 10 cc).

STEP 3.

ADD fuel to the gasoline line.

(Amount fuel = approx. 4 tsp. = 18 cc =18 ml).

STEP 3A (optional)

ADD one drop blue Quik-Check solution to test-tube.

STEP 4.

INSERT rubber cap/stopper and shake vigorously.

STEP 5.

HOLD upright for several minutes until liquids settles.

Results (settling) will occur in 2 to 10 minutes.

STEP 6.

LOCATE the gasoline/water separation line and READ the scale.

The marking at level of separation indicates the percentage of alcohol present.

Perform testing in a well ventilated area, away from heat, fire and open flame - Gasoline is highly flammable.

Most auto and marine engines can tolerate up to 10% ethanol alcohol in fuel, which is the federal and state legal limit for E10 gasoline. Check your state fuel laws for more information. Review U.S. Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS).

Warning: Many fuel additives marketed and purchased by consumers contain ethanol and other types of alcohol.

Always check ingredients (MSDS) before adding any type of fuel additive to your fuel tank.

Step-By-Step INSTRUCTIONS -

ALCOHOL FUEL TEST KIT (AFTK)

We recommend testing gasoline at time of purchase, directly from the gas station pump (before fill-up);

Continue to monitor fuel quality from gas tank or fuel lines, at frequent intervals, to detect early signs of gas water contamination and phase separation.

Detailed instructions/literature are also included with test kits purchased.

For easiest viewing of test results we recommend use of Quik-Check solution.

Turns only alcohol and water layer blue.

Testing Tips / More information

- Markings are in 5% increments from 0 to 30 %.

- A clear dispenser bottle is included to collect gas directly from gas pump nozzle.

- Wear disposable gloves (included) when testing, to prevent spillage on your hands.

-Tube can be customized to read over 30% alcohol - Removable label is available from Fuel Testers (by request) for reading up to 100% ethanol. (It is about 3mm between each 5% raised marking on tube).

-"Yellow plastic object" and screwdriver of test tube is used mainly when testing fuel from aircraft engines; It's like a key to push up lever/needle valve to drain fuel. Discard if you have no use for it.
