I went to the hanger yesterday to get some empty fuel containers as we were going to town and I want a bit more fuel on hand. I have a clear tank that I use to mix the gas and oil, so I poured out one of the 5 gal containers that I had filled up about 10 days before into the clear container. I was very surprised to see that it was about the same color as it would be when I had mixed in the oil. I got it just over the border in Nev and it has been sealed in the plastic container sitting in the dark in the hanger. I am not intending to put it in my plane just because the color is so strange. It is too darned hot to be walking back home from the places that I fly. I'll burn it in the lawn mower or the quad. I know that we have someone on the list that works with gas distributors, just can't remember who. I have noticed that there is quite a varying color range in gas purchased in different places. My question is- does the color have any impact on the suitability of fuel, and would storing it in individual containers at OAT have an adverse effect, and if so how long would it take to not be usable. I might add that the stuff smells ok.
Thanks for the help
