I am offended.No offense but I have a hard time seeing it getting that yellow in 60 days. I would question how it looked being pumped and if the can was already contained.
Here are a few. I’ve tried all three. I don’t think any of these work very well but I use them anyway and if the gas is older than 30 days I try to dilute into my car tank to use it up before it gets too stale. They don’t sell anything other than ethanol around here.What is "ethanol treatment?"
I use TruFuel from the local Home Depot for my small engines (the 2.5HP dinghy, snowblower, etc) that have built-in tanks. It's too expensive for the larger (20HP) dinghy though so I rotate the tanks to make sure I have fresh gas, as mentioned in a prior post.I have to drive 20 to 70 miles to get E-0 in NYC area. The 20 mile drive sells 100 octane racing fuel at $9.99 a gallon, cash only. Otherwise have to drive up state near Albany to find E-0. Used stabilized E-10 lately. At one point the only way the engine would run is with the choke full on. Cleaned the carburetor and all is good again, til next time. Is there a conspiracy in NYC area to ruin small engines?
I do think local humidity plays a role, and also that my tank was exposed in an open boat to the sun, accentuating heat/cool. However, this was one of the new (pressure) tanks that don't breath as much, so I think the main issue is still instability in the ethanol blend. If you do a web search on "ethanol phase separation" you will find lots of info, including pictures like mine.I wonder if local humidity has something to do with the OP picture?
I just buy what is at the local pump but add Seafoam. A few days ago, I started my 2000W genset (home use) that had been sitting for over a year with gas and Seafoam in the tank. Started right up and seemed to run just fine. The genset lives at about 8700 ft elevation so dry air. Ive been doing this with all the small motors I own (two outboards, chain saw, genset, lawn mower) and have had no issue since using Seafoam. But.. all the small outboards and the gas tanks live in low humidity spots.
The treatment I saw was from Future Fuels Technology, sounds official but maybe the old man kicked off and the secret went with him.Sorry my mind is getting a little slow. In a marina in Portland, Maine they have three or four little bottles on display showing treated fuel and fuel separation in each different brand. Except for one treatment made by a company in Lewiston, Maine. I’ll get back to you with a name if they are still around.
Take it easy Larry...... that doesn't rule out it being contained before going into your tank. If all gas looked like that after sitting for 2 months we whould all be stranded somewhere or never be able to get our lawnmowers going.I am offended.
This is from a dinghy that is kept on a dock. It wasn’t used much this summer because we kept our sail boat elsewhere. The dinghy has two 3-gallon gas tanks that are alternated in use. When one gets low it is taken off and the remaining gas is siphoned into my car then filled from empty. Stabilizer is added when the tank is filled.
The image I posted is what it is. If you don’t believe it then “no offense” you have a problem.
