Does temperature affect the relative dielectric value of gasoline?
Extensive testing by NHRA indicates that the relative DC of gasoline is very sensitive to temperature and some gasolines are also sensitive to exposure (aging) at elevated temperatures for moderate to long periods of time. Accurate relative DC measurements can only be made if the temperature of the test sample is within +/- 5o F of the temperature of the calibration (cyclohexane) sample. Fuel samples above 90o F must be chilled below that temperature to obtain a stable reading. Q: What other effective tests are there for gasoline? A: There are several other effective tests to ascertain that the gasoline used by a competitor has not been tainted. Germane Engineering manufactures the Reagent A and D Spot Test chemicals that are effective in identifying several common power additives including propylene oxide, alcohol, masking agents, and paradioxane. Accurate measurement of the density/specific gravity of gasoline is also very effective, although this is most applicable to situations whe
