dweymer Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 How can I find out if fuel is methanol vs. gasoline? Is the color different? TIA D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cucamelsmd15 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You could mix equal parts with water, i.e. 1 part mystery fluid to 1 part water. Methanol, being a simple alcohol is miscible with water. Gasoline, being a hydrocarbon base, isnt. Even if it is gasoline with ethanol, youll still have a pretty clear phase separation. Also, methanol has a fairly distinctive odor than any trained engineer would know. Edit: I work just down the road from you, so if you need a bit of help, drop me a PM.
