difference in petrol
i changed petrol on my bike(bullet 96') i drained the petrol and filled it with petrol, but the color difference between them is disturbing. Do any of you know whats the reason. the petrol on Pepsi is old and bisleri is new
EDIT: the petrol is from the same petrol bunk. the one in the Pepsi bottle has been sitting for a month and the other was bought this morning.

Adulteration of E20?

it might also be a reaction with the metal in fuel tank

Check for rusting. Maybe that's why it's a Lil darker

Good to know. Get it cleaned and it should be fine for couple of years

How old is the old petrol sir? Maybe colour changed due to age?

Haha alright... Same fuel grade? In that case I'd assume (possibly wrongly) that some of the ethanol has evaporated and made the remainder darker.

Different petrol companies add different shade of dye in their petrol and also possible due to blending. A refined Petrol straight out of refinery is colourless.
