The problem with the quality of gasoline on the Ukrainian filling stations is, unfortunately, remains relevant today. Even in Kiev, no, no, erupt scandals with falsified fuel, and even in the depths of the poison in the gas tank, pour all and Sundry. However, there are several ways to even the eyes to determine the “poison” on whether a particular station of your horse, or not.
The easiest way to determine the quality of gasoline, is look carefully at its color. Good gasoline must be white only. In the case of barely visible yellow or blue hue, it is better to abandon the use of such fuel. In other words, if you are going to fill his “iron horse” in the distance from home, you can pour a liter of gasoline in any container. The loss of time and money penny (especially given the price of the gasoline), but the engine is not exactly stukanet. At worst, from the nozzle first can “to shoot” is not in the tank, and asphalt.
Three methods will require slightly more effort and is hardly suitable in “field conditions” (although if you have nowhere to go, and gas stations looks very doubtful – a lot of time checking will not take). However, they can be applied, choosing a gas station in the city, which is extremely important, given that due to poor quality fuel break down the motors every fourth car!
WATER RUINING THE MOTOR…
So, to determine whether dilute gasoline with water, you will need potassium permanganate. Pour the fuel into a glass, add to the potassium permanganate and vzbaltyvayut a good mix. If the crystals dissolve (should have a pink tinge to them), so the gasoline condensation.
ADDITIVES …
In order to determine whether the harmful gasoline additive, it is necessary to moisten them a sheet of paper, and then dry it. Then we recommend that you look at the sheet. If the fuel has not left any traces, this tells about its high quality.
…AND IMPURITIES
To determine the presence of resins, oils and other unwanted substances, it is necessary to drip gasoline on a clean glass and set on fire. If after burning out of fuel on the glass are white stains, this indicates that the fuel does not contain impurities. But if stains become yellow, orange or brown color, it means that the gasoline resin are present in high concentrations. Remnants of soot on the glass indicate that fuel is benzene.
