I observed an interesting thing today while working on a small gasoline
engine. I drained the fuel from the carb bowl into a small metal
container while working on the carb. After about 5 minutes I noticed the
fuel in the container had turned a milky white. I poured a small
quantity of fresh gas into another container and, after about 5-10
minutes it also turned milky white. The fuel is 87 octane unleaded
Getty, I also tried the smae fuel from Mobil. The humidity today was
about 95%. My guess is that the fuel contains alcohol and is absorbing
water from the humid air. Have anyone seen this happen?

What kind of container?

Take care.
