Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label gasoline
contaminated with alcohol?

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

Here in Ontario I was told not all gasoline must have 5% alky, but 5%
of all fuel sold must be alky - so 50% of all fuel sold being E10
satisfies the requirement. In practice, virtually all 87 octane will
be e10. Premium 91 will (from some companies, at least) be E0, making
the blended 89 E5. Since significantly over half the gasoline sold in
Ontario is 87 octane, this would excede the requirements. - Just from
what I've been told, but you can never trust the elected idiots, or
worse yet the beurocrats


IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real
irritant. I haven't been paying much attention to the new diesel aircraft
engines becoming available. Since I should be making my own biodiesel by
the end of this Summer (for something less than 45 cents a gallon), are
any of the new diesels in the O-200/Rotax 912 class?




What do you grow to make biodiesel?


Relatives that own restuarants and have to pay to dispose of waste fryer
oil!

You'll never get an STC to put it in a certified aircraft. Better start
thinking experimental.

Actually there is a company with an STC for biodiesel. They have a
C-172 at Sacramento City College that if fully STC'd on biodiesel
rigtht now. If you really want give these guys a call

I already am, but there an STC for diesels in 172s.

...making the blended 89 E5

Only if the blend is 50-50. I bet it's not. Just looking at the octane
numbers, the blend is mostly low test, and the price is mostly high test.

Yup, works real well. A test tube with a 10% level line on it. Fill with water to the 10% line, fill remainder with fuel
under test. Shake it up, and if the separation line is higher up the tube that the original water separation line, the
water absorbed the alcohol adding to its volume. Works right now basically no waiting...

I have not tried Jays Alka Seltzer method....
