YEARS AGO I WORKED ON A MACHINE THAT HAD STALE FUEL IN IT. INTAKE VALVE WAS COATED WITH THE STICKY SUBSTANCE PREVENTING ITS MOVEMENT. CUSTOMER FELT THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, STALE FUEL IS NOT. TO PROVE THE EFFECTS AND THE QUALITY OF HIS FUEL I WENT TO AN AMOCO REFINERY TO HAVE THEM TEST. THE CHEMIST TOLD ME MANY THINGS.THIS WAS IN THE 90'S AND HE SAID SHELF LIFE ON FUEL WAS RIGHT AT THIRTY DAYS. THE FUEL LOOSES MOST OF ITS VOLATILITY AT THIS POINT,DUE TO THE CHEMICAL INTERACTION HE STATED IT ALSO CAUSES THAT TYPICAL BAD FUEL SMELL. HE SHOWED ME A WAY TO TEST IF AN ADDITIVE WAS STILL ACTIVE OR NOT. STICK YOUR FINGER IN SOME OF THE FUEL IF IT FEELS HOT IT IS BAD , COLD AND IT IS GOOD. HE TOLD ME TO TELL MY CUSTOMERS TO STAY AWAY FROM LOW VOLUME FUEL STATIONS AS THE FUEL WAS MOST LIKELY TO GO BAD IN THEIR TANKS. HE ALSO DISCUSSED THE EXPANISON OF WATER IN STORAGE TANKS AND THE ABSORPTION,THIS WAS ABOUT THE TIME MOST LOCAL STATIONS WERE REPLACING STEEL TANKS WITH FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE.HE SENT ME A LOT OF PRINTED MATERIAL AND I HAVE MISPLACED. PLEASE DONT HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT A CHEMIST OF A FUEL REFINERY SAID, I PERSONALLY SAW NO REASON FOR HIM TO NOT BE HONEST WITH ME.JUST INTERESTING.
