Default RE: Checking Ether content

Hi Greg,

Good point.

Also, I've heard more than once, that a test sample of one is practically useless!

When I did a similar test of popular glow fuels to determine the lube content, I used three samples of each fuel to minimize errors. The measurements were very consistent that way.

I would prefer using containers with more accurate markings, as the plastic medicine cups I used were only graduated in eighth oz increments, and those raised marks (cast in) were difficult to read.

The quart of Amsoil Cetane Booster I have should last me for several life times, so some separate tests for evaporation are likely to follow. <G>


Pe,

Hello again!

I've heard that theory before, and I may measure the ingredients separately next batch I mix, to see if I can detect any loss in total volume while blending Ether and Castor oil.

Thanks to both of you for your comments.

Bill
