Checking for Oil in Fuel

[Borch297]

Is there any way to see if you have already added oil to your fuel? (Pre-mix and the race fuel are similar color, so hard to tell by looking at it). I'm thinking about throwing it into a centrifuge to see if it separates. Ideas?

If you dont know, throw it in a 4 cycle lawnmower.

I doubt very seriously that it will come back out of suspension.

You can pour a bit of the fuel on a clean white paper towel and then sit it in the sun for a few minutes. The fuel will vaporize in short time and leave an oily residue in most cases if the fuel is properly mixed.
