ChosenOne Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) No, its call fossil fuel gents, its been in the ground for eons, it does burn when you spill it on you though, if you spill enough lol it seemed to be an intelligent asnwer, but you do know that stuff is put inside to make is useable for cars right? But in fact, gasoline can degrade over time. That can lead to a number of problems, ranging from hard starting, to rough running, to no starting at all. Here's Why Edited August 6, 2010 by ChosenOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJNJ Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Never thought of gasoline like that lol but I googled around, a lot of sources (not sure if they're even legit) say gasoline does age over time and loses its stability: Yes, Gasoline does have an expiration date. When gasoline is stored, gums will form, the result of copper-catalyzed reactions of the hydrocarbons. Antioxidants and metal deactivators are added to slow this down, but after six months the fuel has degraded enough to be no longer good for use. Another problem with gasoline aging, is many of the performance and octane additives such as aromatic hydrocarbons evaporate and leave a fuel that delivers less performance than fresh fuel. Ethanol fuel has a very short shelf life compared to straight gasoline. http://www.waynesgarage.com/docs/gasoline.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Something about ethonal, they are adding more and more of it to your gas, if you ever put a lot in, YOU HAVE TO run your car about every 1-2 weeks because the ethnol will destroy the inside of your car if it's left in the same position for a long period of time...
