I look at specific gravity to get a general idea if the castor oil will separate from the gasoline and or at what fuel temperature separation may occur.  Some of the fuels like 100LL av-gas may separate at 80 F unless some type of blending agent is added to the base fuel.

The "jar" test is the best way to test the fuel for separation.

I think 100LL has a specific gravity of around .68 to .70.  Fuel with low aromatic content typically has more problems mixing with castor oil.  Fuels with a specific gravity around .74 or higher, most often have higher aromatic content and castor oil will usually stay mixed in the fuel to around 50 F.

Unleaded pump gas has a high aromatic content and can be used as a blending agent in leaded race fuel or 100LL av-gas with out appreciably affecting the octane rating. For most of my customers, I advise them to mix  one gallon of pump premium to 4 gallons of race or av-gas.
