gas color

[7window]

My gas in the old gas can turned orange color. What does that indicate? The gas can is metal and has a tiny hole in it.

it means that it's liver is failing or it's eating too many carrots.

Probably tinted red from rust caused by water in the can.

gas is old.. its probably turned into varnish.. you got to throw it out, but if you reuse it in like a fuel injected car, make sure you run it through a paper filter first before putting it in the car.

Any suggestion on what type of paper filter? First thing that came to my head is coffee filter.

You really don't want to use that fuel. If you must, mix it with fresh fuel and filter it first.

All the old gas I siphon out of lawnmowers I use as a solvent to clean parts in. Oily, dirty, watery, it really doesn't matter, the gas still cleans parts well. Then blow dry with air and reassemble. I then toss it into the storm sewer or let it evaporate. If gas wasn't meant to be in the air, then why does it evaporate so easily?

Paint filters work well, and are disposable. 😎

I just donate it to the local arsonist as protection gas to keep him from torching my place.
