“testing" to see if gasoline is GOOD or BAD

- Sometimes you’ve got gasoline in the car, you’re wondering is the gas any good or not. I just connected the high-pressure line and dump some gas into a plastic container. If you pour fresh gas in a container right next to it it certainly looks a lot different. Small engines are a lot more sensitive to bad gas. I drain the gas out of the lawnmower and put in the gas from the car. The lawnmower usually starts up first time. I struggle to get the lawnmower started. Once it was started it seem like the lawnmower mowed the grass fine. And I put in fresh gas back into the lawnmower it started right up just like it always did

Like urine, if it’s dark,you’re dehydrated, not good. If it’s light, it’s healthy
Fresh gasoline looks like lemonade
Thank you for the great demonstrations on video. II was wondering how old the gas in the car was? I have a truck that I've parked for over a year with 20 gallons of gas. I had just filled it up and my clutch went out. I'm considering the siphoning out one gallon at a time and running it in my 2005 Toyota Avalon. The gas is just so much more expensive now than it was then.. Thank you.
Thanks for this I was wondering why my turbo car that sat for 8 years was struggling like it was. Would break up whenever I tried to get into boost. I thought my fuel pump was bad lol but it has got to be the gas.
Very good information
If your gas had ethanol in it, ethanol attracts water. If you pour your old gas in a tall glass container and let it sit for a day you will see the gas and water separate. You can pour off the water and use the gas. Just don't let ethanol gas sit in your motor for a long time. It will gum up your carburetor and you will have to clean the varnish out of it.

@@thereportoftheday5713 goodness!!! i agree
Good looking out with gas prices how they are I won’t water my weeds with it
I wonder what a proper lab analysis would find was the cause of the yellow colour. Water bound to ethanol? Or some other contaminant or change...
The gas from my sitting car was probably bought before February 2016 because that’s the month the insurance cards in it were dated to expire, it could have been as long as six months before then even. I drained it last Fall or so and it’s been in cans since then. I’m considering using it in a used 4 stroke pressure washer I bought to get rid of it. Maybe in a sense I’ll get paid to use that old gas rather than having to PAY to at the landfill if they even take it.
My car has been sitting 12 years. I think it is pre-ethanol. I drained off a bit and there's no water separation. I tried lighting a small amount and it appears good. I'm in the UK and have not,anaged to find anyone who can take the petrol so I'm going to try starting the car. If if doesn't work I'm going to try gettinf one of those misfuelling companies to drain it.

Just drained out some gas in my boat and it was a bit yellowish but mostly clear like lemonade. Is that still good? It didn’t have any funky smell to it, smelled normal
I am asking the same question
I've had gas in 15 gallon plastic gas containers in my garage for a year. Is it still good?
Little late now but for me the major factor has always been, sealed or ported cans? If sealed than it should be fine. I ran 25 gallons of year old untreated ethanol fuel thru my generator when hurricane Ian hit and it never missed a beat. Sealed fuel cans though.
how old?
So the test was is the lawn mower would start?
mmm lemonade
A warmed up and primed 2 stroke always starts easier.

If u have old gas like half a tank...is it OK to fill up the tank with good gas....does it balance things out? Just to get the car running well again...
Just wondering...it would save me half a tank of 6 month old gas lol
6 months old I'd just fill it the rest with new stuff and run it
@@mattnoble5736 i have an automatic 2001 VW jetta 2.0 - it sat since december 2021 until now april 2023
mobile mechanic came by and put in a brand new battery, refurbished starter, cleaned up the rusted ground connection from the starter to the chassis or transmission whatever it is
the car now cranks, but won't start - he then took off one end of the cold air intake and sprayed something into the engine while i started it up but then it died after 2 seconds
the gas is original from probably november 2021 , i have about half a tank
he is telling me that probably the fuel pump needs to be replaced
any ideas if its just bad gas ?
i have 87 octane in there
@@TL.... so how did this turn out? I’d say just go buy some heet and another 5 gallons of fresh gas. If it doesn’t start then make sure it’s not the ignition system before you drop the gas tank.
@@dirtyaznstyle4156 i gave up
its sitting in my driveway
@@TL....Did you siphon the old gas out and fill it with new gas? And a cleaner maybe?
You uhh didn't have to crank it over just turn the key to ignition lol
Primed?
The old fuel and new fuel doesn't just go straight to the engine. Have to burn out what's in the line first
The reason the gas didn't start as easy is because gasoline constantly looses flammability through vapor loss.. that's also why it changes color .. the additives they put in gas get more condensed and go sour. That being said the hot engine vaporizes fuel via heat and why it didn't struggle...yes you loose power on a cold engine and eventually a cold engine won't start on it without help .. I use stale gas in my 2001 Chevy Silverado. I get hundreds of gallons at a time from wrecking yards...this stuff is putrid and won't fire up an engine. I pull 5 gallons off a 55 gallon drum and use that to thin my waste motor oil to run as fuel in my 1990 Chevy diesel...then add 5 gallons of fresh ethanol free to that 55 gallon...I then run that through the centrifuge to pull the water out that ethanol drew into the fuel... I test the batch on a generator and make sure it starts within 10 pulls...if not I add 1 gallon at a time till it does... As soon as mixture starts within 10 pulls I use it in my Silverado... You have to let truck warm up to operating temp or will backfire and generally not be happy... I also carry a laptop to change timing and fueling map if needed...as my truck is tuned to lean burn and cruised down the road at 18.5:1... So the batch of 300 gallons I got paid 60 bucks to take cost my 50 in fresh gas to make work ...so now technically I got paid 10.00 to get 312 gallons of fuel that can travel 7800 miles on...my truck averages 24.8 mpg. Stale gas can be used if done right and you loose zero power.
Although if you have a turbocharged gas engine I would be more careful...my Silverado will be getting a turbo and will figure out protocol for using old gas when the time comes. I'm doing turbo for efficiency and by product will be 600hp..lol. May have to do a boost activated 9th injector when under heavy throttle and boost with small secondary fuel tank and fuel system ..where there is a will there is a way
Test gas from a car by putting it in a small engine where it can more easily cause damage? Really?
A small engine that costs the fraction of what a car’s engine does and is a lot easier to fix
Why the hell you are calling it gas if it is seen in liquid state?
It confuses general public
the general public understands gas is short for gasoline...
@@briank592 lol, non Americans refer to it as petrol, they also start counting with their thumb,
"Petrol" is what weirdos say
@@jamartin005we all know that you will struggle to pinpoint it on a map, but the whole rest of the world uses the term gas to denote a substance that is neither a liquid nor a solid. The rest of the world also goes to the 'Petrol Station' to fill up their 'petrol tanks' with 'petrol'. Do you see how that works, linguistically, or are you struggling with that concept?
