I apologize for not being complete in my earlier statement
I meant to ask, what about electronic SENSOR chips standardized, cheaply
mass produced, and mandatory by law, like smoke detectors or Co2 detectors
that would detect "sniff" a unique chemical dopiant, that would not be
deterious to the fuel apparatus, this would not be a mercap*, but something
unique?

I don't know any cheap mass-produced sensors which have an odour
threshold of:
Odor Threshold: Ethanethiol=0.2 ppb, isopropyl mercaptan=0.024 ppb TBM=0.008
ppb

This is mindbogglingly low. Even while we're not canines, our rhinoequipment
is quite impressive.
