How to Store Motorcycle Gasoline?
1 Answers
It should be stored in metal containers, avoiding the use of plastic barrels and glass bottles. Always tighten the gasoline can lid to prevent gas evaporation. Below is relevant information about gasoline: 1. Color identification: If the color darkens, it indicates that the gasoline has been stored for too long and has undergone a reaction. 2. Smell test: Gasoline has a faint aromatic odor due to the presence of aromatic acids in it; you can lightly sniff the gasoline to detect its smell. 3. Practical testing: Measure the octane number and density of the gasoline. Theoretically, the higher the octane number, the more resistant it is to burning. Additionally, gasoline density is best between 0.735 and 0.745. Currently, gasoline at gas stations is generally National Standard IV gasoline, with octane numbers typically between 93% and 94%. There is also National Standard V 92-octane gasoline, with octane numbers generally between 92% and 93%, as well as higher-grade 97 and 98-octane gasoline.
