I had some gas from church that I brought home a couple weeks ago. I believe that I left it in the shed there when I changed the gas in the generator a year ago. That would make the gas two years old. I was going to use it in my ZT mower but it didn't like it so I have fresh gas in one tank and some of this old gas in the other. It is kind of cloudy looking when I siphon some out. But if I let it sit for a couple hours it clears up, but that is only because it separates. There is about an inch of a clear liquid, sitting on top of five inches of yellow. On top of the clear is about two drops of something else that does not mix in. I assume that the yellow is plain gasoline and that the clear is ethanol. Why are they separated? Why do they look cloudy when they are mixed? Will the plain gas burn OK?
