ive taken gas out of cars that wouldn’t start. Put fresh in and then it would start. They would start on a small hit of starter fluid, that’s the clue.
Then I took and poured some on the concrete and lit it.... we noticed the gas that was fresh lit and almost instantly burned away as it should.
The gas that had lost its volatility still lit, but not with the gusto the fresh stuff did. One other thing...
The gas that wasn’t fresh had this strange looking soot over the top of the flame very much like the spot coming off an acetylene torch when you have the adjustment too rich.
Interesting to see what this stuff does and leaves inside the combustion chambers of heads that have been running this stale stuff for any length of time.
