How to Identify Good and Bad Gasoline?
1 Answers
Gasoline quality can be identified through the following methods: 1. Observe the color: Dark-colored gasoline is not good, but lighter color doesn't necessarily mean better quality. Excessively dark color indicates higher sulfur content and other impurities, which can damage the engine. However, extremely light color doesn't guarantee superior quality. Generally, light yellow, transparent or semi-transparent gasoline is considered good. 2. Smell the odor: Strong gasoline smell indicates poor quality. If you detect an intense gasoline odor or even an irritating smell upon opening the container, it's likely bad gasoline with excessive sulfur content. 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 on your hand - if it evaporates quickly, the gasoline is of decent quality.
