We know that fuel, even with a 100 : 1 mix is different chemically than just straight fuel. There are ways to measure it. Without really thinking about it too much, I think a sensor hooked to a microprocessor that measures the viscosity of the fuel several hundred times a second as it flows past might work. (I think that fuel with oil in it would have a different viscosity index than fuel without oil in it). You just have to monitor the thickness of the fuel. If it falls below a set parameter it would send a signal to a solenoid that would switch a valve to a different tank filled with premix in it and sound an alarm. The problem of course is writting the program. The rest is just basic mechanical stuff.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
