What tester are you guys using?

Just as the title states. What ethanol tester are you guys using? How do you like it? (accuracy, ease of use, cost)

I want to know when my local station goes from winter to summer blend. When i asked the clerk, she looked at me like i was high on crack.

Thanks:beer:

The one I have... recommended by 04sleeper. I haven't used mine yet, still int the trunk of my car but from his experience, pretty accurate.

Yes. It's nothing more than a glass tube with a sticker on the side. But the lines on the stocker have been marked for that glass container to measure Eathanol content.

You just keep reusing it over and over again.

Yep I used mine 3 times in a row to test the other day. Only problem is no way to tell how accurate it is. I came up 3 times with around E93. The sample could of been tainted and been off but no way of telling. I find it hard to believe that in Jan., well in any month, the Fuel would be E93 unless they are trying to cheat customers by diluting the gasoline with Ethyl Alcohol. I figure E93 would be cheaper to make then E85.

Thats the same tester I have used. I have come back with e90 results quite a few times.

So far I'm always at 79 or 80%. I monitor fuel trims while I drive and they are pretty stable at the 10.2 stoich in my tune.

For comparison trims bounce around more with 92 pump. I have the stoich set at 14.1 for it since all our pumps say up to 10% ethanol.
