Subject: A question about gasoline
From: Short Wave Sportfishing John Wentworth wrote: 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? Milk jug? Capt. Bill |
