How to Distinguish Good and Bad Gasoline?
1 Answers
Gasoline can be distinguished by the following methods: 1. Observe the color: Darker colors are not good, but lighter colors are not necessarily better either. Darker colors indicate higher levels of impurities like sulfur, which can damage the engine. However, extremely light colors do not guarantee better quality. Generally, gasoline with a light yellow, transparent, or semi-transparent color is considered good. 2. Smell the odor: Strong gasoline smells indicate poor quality. If you open the bottle and immediately notice a strong, pungent gasoline odor, the gasoline is likely of poor quality and may contain excessive sulfur. 3. Feel the texture: Dip your finger in the gasoline and rub it between your fingers. If the oiliness feels too strong, the quality is poor. Alternatively, pour a small amount of gasoline on your hand—if it evaporates quickly, the gasoline is likely of decent quality.
