MARATHON:cool2: is the most commonly ethanol-free gasoline. The test for ethanol in gasoline is really easy, so I'll pass it along.I'm sure this way is also RED GREEN approved.:confused2:Ha!
(1) Get some gas in a clean ,empty gas can.
(2) Put whatever amount you want in it. Go home, get a clean,clear, dry glass container(quart canning jar is GREAT),and put a few ounces of water in the container.
(3) Set the container on the floor of the garage or level outside surface and mark the water's level with a black magic marker.
(4) Add maybe a pint of gasoline or more if container will hold it.
(5) If gas contains ethanol,you'll see the water level rise above the mark you made.The more it rises,the higher the ethanol content.
(6)BTW,this is a painstaking way of removing ethanol from gasoline,but you might also remove a fuel additive,so if you do it,add a touch of gas treatment to the final product. don-ohio
