Petrol colour.

[EFLImpudence]

Had occasion for the first time in many years to put some ordinary unleaded petrol for cleaning purposes in a translucent plastic container.

It is purple.

Is that normal nowadays?

The container previously has contained anti-freeze and diesel if that makes any difference,

I thought it was a kind of white wine colour.

 

[EFLImpudence]

That's what I expected - like it always was.

Is that the new E10 standard unleaded?

I remember pink or purple petrol in the 70’s. We used to syphon it from the new cars just of the transporters. We tried it in our cars to make sure it was good enough for the new cars.

Is that the new E10 standard unleaded?

I don't know. I didn't notice anything on the pump.

I will have a look next time.

If anyone is interested - or not.

Just been back to the same place. It is E5.

It was definitely not red - and from a large supermarket chain.
