Hi All,

There is a thread currently runnig about a guy having trouble getting his newly aquired/used 501 to start half way decently. In that thread was posed the question of fuel quality and storage.

A quick google search found Chevrons site with some good info.

Chevron talks about steel containers rusiting from water contamination. However, it is my understanding that a steel can is the best storage container as it will not allow the lighter components to evapore off as a plastic container will over time.

Here's the link, there is some good info here as well about gasoline in general. http://www.chevron.com/products/prodser ... _gasoline/
 
Thx Daleo good info.
The bit about proper disposel reminds me of a incident that happened years ago in front of a bike shop in Halifax,NS.A new guy was asked to dump some old fuel and not knowing where decided to empty it into the gutter on the street.A few moments later a car driver flicks a cigerette butt out of his window...the result was an impressive wall of fire 20 feet high that lasted for only a minute or less.When the fire dept showed no one knew what fire they were talking about. :D
