I use a 1-gallon and a 2-gallon plastic gas can (one for regular fuel and one for fuel/oil mix) to store my fuel and I have never had a problem with the fuel going bad. However, it is known that fuel will get stale after 30 days - that may be where your problem lies. Get a smaller container if you don't use very much fuel in a 30-day period. Or, you might try adding a fuel stabilizer product with your fuel.

What will happen to plastic if you throw it away?
When plastic is thrown away, it typically ends up in a landfill, where it can take hundreds to thousands of years to decompose. During this time, it can break down into smaller microplastics, which can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to wildlife and ecosystems. In some cases, plastic may be incinerated, releasing harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Alternatively, if it is recycled, it can be processed into new products, reducing the need for virgin materials.
Does soda pop foam more in styrofoam cups plastic or glass?
Probably plastic cups, but it would depend on the comparative smoothness of the containers. the dissolved gas in soda needs a nucleation site to form a gas bubble, this can be a dirt particle or in this case the walls of the container.
What phase of matter does not conduct heat well?
Wood, Plastic, Fabric... and a bunch of other stuff.
Would a gas room heater be convection conduction or raidiation?
it would emit heat in the form of radiation. It will also heat the air which will cause convection. However, these heated gasses will be vented out of the flue so as not to contaminate the air in the room.
Does freon contaminate food?
If it gets into food yes! It is poisonous.
Does throwing a piece of plastic out into the open contaminate the air?
Yes, it does.
What are the problems created when plastic is burned?
Burning plastic releases toxic chemicals and pollutants into the air, leading to air pollution and respiratory issues. It contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. Additionally, the disposal of plastic waste through burning can harm the environment and contaminate soil and water sources.
Can fumes from melted plastic contaminate food?
Yes, fumes from melted plastic can contaminate food. When plastic is heated, it can release harmful chemicals and toxins, such as dioxins and phthalates, which may leach into food. Consuming food contaminated with these substances can pose health risks. It's important to avoid using plastic containers not designed for high temperatures in cooking or food storage.
Why sample oil with metal cans?
Because a plastic bottle can contaminate the sample; and a glass bottle is fragile.
Which of these is a disadvantage of using natural gas?
Extraction through fracking can contaminate groundwater
Is it illegal to have a plastic gas tank?
No it is not illegal to have a plastic gas tank
What happens if you use plastic?
Using plastic can lead to environmental issues, such as pollution and harm to wildlife due to its non-biodegradable nature. When plastic waste accumulates in landfills and oceans, it can break down into microplastics, which contaminate water sources and enter the food chain. Additionally, the production and incineration of plastic contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating climate change. Reducing plastic use and opting for sustainable alternatives can help mitigate these negative impacts.
Is plastic solid or gas?
Plastic is solid.
Why are glass cylinders preferred over plastic cylinders?
Glass does not leach and is not chemically reactive, unlike most plastics. As a result, glass does not interfere with experiments or contaminate samples like plastic often would.
What happens if you boil plastic?
Boiling plastic can release harmful chemicals into the air, which can be dangerous to breathe in. It can also cause the plastic to break down and release toxins that can contaminate food or water if the plastic is used for cooking or storing food. It is not recommended to boil plastic as it can be harmful to both your health and the environment.
Is plastic solid gas or liquid?
Plastic is solid.
Will gas eat through plastic?
Yes, certain types of gas can eat through plastic, particularly if it is a reactive or corrosive gas. The speed at which the gas eats through the plastic will depend on factors such as the type of plastic and the concentration and nature of the gas being used. It is important to use plastics that are compatible with the specific gas being stored or transported.
