I tested the gasoline I buy for my plane and was pleased to see NO alcohol. I
intend to continue using it (mixed with 100LL) in varying proportions but
basically alternating 15 gallon purchases (I carry 30 gals onboard, although I
can carry 36 but it spills out my overflow on the left wing if I fill to top).

Regarding using Mason jars for testing.....

Round here the Mason jars come with "fuel" already in em! (Kinda like
JATO or rocket fuel) I don't know if I'd add any gas to them but a
little water in the form of ice usually makes the sampling process go
smoother. Course by then it's not too safe for you to fly but you
might eat one of them Peanut Butter an Olive sandwitches. After all
that's been said and done you'll have plenty of gas stronger than 100LL
avgas. Plus, we tend to worry about the liver more than the bladders.
All in all, gasohol can be very scarey!

PS The last thing that you wanna do is talk to the guvmint bout
getting a tax rebate on the fuel in the jars though. Uncle Bubba did
that an he's still away fer awhile, as Mamma calls it.
