We do a test of gasoline, de-natured alcohol, 50-50 gasoline/alcohol, 90-10 gasoline/alcohol, and propane. I have them test the straight gasoline and alcohol mixtures with a copper shim head gasket, single head gasket, and double head gasket.
I built a dynomometer that is prettu accurate that uses the power steering pump out of a 1980's Chevy as a prony brake. It'll handle up to 8 HP and only costs about $10 to make.
: Have you ever had them test methanol vs ethanol or any other alcohol?
