Fuel evaporation thread over on the Camaro forum

FWIW, despite the OP stating the discoloration appeared to be more of a lighting issue to them, I have noticed a considerable change in fuel color (and aroma) in a matter of days in the fuel cell on my test engine.

As you all know the current ethanol based fuel is junk [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]

We have switched to using Av-Gas in all of our equipment and toys including lawn mowers, chainsaws, outboards, weed trimmer, snowmobiles, ATV, etc...no more carb problems...the Av-Gas lasts a long time with no discoloration or foul smell [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

We also use it in the high compression cars and often blend in a little race fuel to make it perfect. Some of the gas stations in the upstate area of NY are now selling ethanol free high test...the snowmobile crowd is very grateful [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

***what can you do with old gas?? can it be recycled??

yes, Tommy the gas thing is an issue. I mix 112 Sunoco with 93 octane. cars run good and no problems all year long. My Q-Jet nova does need to crank way more times than the Holley on my Z/28. The 2 bottom plugs on the body have been epoxied over but still it seems to need to crank longer. I usually run 3+ gallons of 112 to about 10 gallons of 93.
