If you have a good working relationship with your forensics department, they can make up "weathered" or evaporated samples for you. Our chemist makes up a kit of several chemicals from various classifications of IL, that they commonly find in samples from fire scenes. In addition to 50%, we also use 75 and 95% evaporated gasoline, as well as "fresh" gasoline hides for K9 training.
