The results demonstrate the feasibility of employing the MMI sensor as a reliable system for gasohol quality control that is not only a simple but also a cost effective system. A novel gasohol fuel detection system based on MMI fiber sensors was demonstrated. The MMI sensor relies on the fact that the RI of the gasohol blend is reduced as the ethanol content is increased. Since MMI sensors are capable of detecting small RI changes, accurate control of gasohol blends is achieved by tracking the peak spectral response of the MMI sensor.

The sensor is also capable of detecting when the water content of the gasohol blend exceeds the maximum volume that induces phase separation effects. When this occurs the liquids are not homogeneously mixed and a slightly cloudy colloidal suspension is obtained.

Since the effective RI of the suspension is lower than the homogeneous mixture, we obtain a shorter peak wavelength response that the deviates from the linear response of the MMI sensor. Since the MMI sensor is straightforward to fabricate and does not require any special coating it is a cost effective solution for monitoring the quality of gasohol blends.
