Methods to check the quality of gasoline: 1. Observe the color of gasoline: Under normal circumstances, gasoline should be water-white in color. If the color darkens, it may indicate that the gasoline has been stored for too long; 2. Usage observation: Check if fuel consumption has increased and inspect the exhaust pipe for sticky substances. If present, it suggests the gasoline is of poor quality; 3. Smell test: Gently waft the scent of gasoline. If there is a pungent odor, such as a spicy, eye-irritating, or unusual smell, it means the gasoline contains excessive sulfur and likely other impurities; 4. Touch test: Rub a small amount of gasoline between your fingers several times. If the greasy sensation on your fingers is strong, similar to engine oil, it indicates the gasoline quality is not very good.
