All of this has made me serious about conducting a study....wife safely asleep in bed now so here goes. Just as an initial kick off I drained the fuel from my BSA this weekend - been in the tank no more than 5 months at the most. Just look at the colour of it (in the rain x bottle not the red wine) , looks like my wee after drinking a night or three. From memory fuel fresh petrol should not look this dark.....kind of a yellowy clear appearance but never this dark. So is that also a sign of the dreaded E? Smells reasonable but certainly some sharpness detected in the nostrils against new fuel drawn from the pump today, almost vinegar like. Worth saying that this is the premium petrol here - 91......which correct me if I'm wrong is the equivalent to RON 95 over in the UK / EU? Let me know if that's right. To be continued.

Bought one of these tanks yesterday with the tap on the bottom…five gallon capacity.
Should be some interesting experiments ahead now. So, food dye and octane booster are the next things on my list…

Tank has arrived. I'm just curious to see how much ethanol they are putting in the premium fuel at the pumps.

All set. How weird is it that the only colour food die I could get today was ‘green’. (As in saving the planet…..I’ll get my coat)….
