Hi! All.
I checked on the Frost site and spoke to a very helpful gent who explained
that their additive was meant to only protect against corrosion and needed
adding to all your fuel each bottle is sufficient for adding to 250 litres
of fuel !
However he kindly recommended me to an American site who produce a small kit
container which allows you to take a small sample from the water drain point
on the aircraft and if Ethanol is present it changes colour to blue (that is
the whole sample) . But it was expensive at about $ 35 per unit ! I paid by
Pay Pal and the final bill including postage and packaging finalised at
approx $70 , so I was scammed yet again !
Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing ( bastards) sorry but no other name in
my vocabulary .
So I can test a small amount from each fill up but need to effect similar
checks if I land away.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-OTAG

Hello Danny,
I have 24 of those cotton buds left from a 303381 fuel testing kit i brought
---From Airworld a few years ago. You are welcome to some if you can send me
your address. Not sure if they have deteriorated with time (though they
have been dry-stored in a sealed plastic bag).
In my view Bob Hitchcock's bottle mentioned as in a previous post (the
function of which incidentally is replicated on most of those
fuel-drain/screwdriver things us Aviators all buy during training) is
probably the neatest solution - since it involves only mixing a small qty of
fuel with a carefully measured sample of water and noting the change in
relative levels due to mixing of part of the water sample with any alcohol
(ethanol) existing in the fuel - an approach which also avoids buying and
managing other test-related supplies.
Regards,
Clive
