Default RE: Checking Ether content


ORIGINAL: Rendegade

While we're on the subject I did some testing of some suspect fuel not long ago.

As it turns out I have approximately 20% ether in the mix, according to my graduated cylinder. Now, is it a true 20% or would it be more due to the intermolecular dispersion?
I would assume (dangerous I know) that the dispersion would work in reverse as well leaving your Kero & Oil component %ages the same as when started.

This intermolecular stuff in my experience is in the order of around 5%. Did you take a large enough sample to measure into the single figure %ages?

On a more general note - a fuel mix with ether content as low as 20% is rare are you sure that it's the ether content being measures?
