I think we could do with some further "Farmyard Investigation" on this, Sunday just gone was a very good fine and sunny day with only a slight breeze where I live, I was doing the normal sorts of chores, washing the pots, vacuuming the carpets , feeding the tribe and mowing the lawn, so I thought "AH" I'll put some 95 octane petrol in a clean clear jar to see what happens.

4 hours later, 95 Octane all gone leaving only a very fine feel of oiliness, but none of the "White powder" observed in the sample I saw in the jar at the LZ adjacent to the home of Gaseous.

So question is, Is the White powder part of the Dye used in the Ident of 100LL, or is it some other sort of additive that is put there by the manufacturer when refining and mixing this Aviation Fuel, and if an additive what is it?
