New homebrewer here - Just ran my first gallon of 0% through my Moki today. 
Engine is on a profile plane, with an externally mounted tank. (Low fly-bys to check fuel level in flight)
Problem is this mix is completely clear. I need to dye this concoction like commercial fuel.
What is a good over-the-counter source of alcohol-soluble dye which won't hone/goop up my motor?

Why dye your fuel?
Why dye your fuel?
i use klotz benol, nice red color but it's castor.
for epoxy/polyester work i use a VERY strong dye in various colors. one tiny drop would be enough to turn a whole gallon bright red, orange, green....i can't imagine such a small amount having any adverse affect on the engine but i also don't know if it's compatible with meth.
