As Gasoline Gets Older
Gasoline Gets Weaker
Why fresh Gas Is Better For Your Motor
takes out certain elements that cause fast deterioration. Hence,
Gulf gas stays fresh longer.
Next, Gulf rushes you that fresh-made gas in a hurry. Gulf has
placed its many great refineries and distributing centers in
many sections of the country, so that every Gulf station is
close to a source of fresh gasoline. Fast tank trucks rush fresh
gas to Gulf pumps every day.
Use fresh Gulf gas exclusively for a cleaner, quieter, faster
motor.
feuLTI
Gasoline is a highly perishable liquid which depreciates when
left in storage.
First and perhaps the most serious result of staleness in
gasoline is a decline in power. The extremely volatile “light
ends” of gasoline disappear, making the gas sluggish in pickup
and slow in starting. A definite chemical change also takes
place, causing a loss of power.
Here is another important reason why the gasoline you buy
should always be fresh. As gas gets staler, it gels stickier—
more apt to clog the valves and the carbureter. Extremely stale
gas can so badly foul a motor with sticky, resinous compounds
that it will barely turn over. Fresh gas keeps your motor clean.
A loss of anti-knock rating is another result of staleness in
gasoline. It has been found that the staler the gas, the more
apt it is to make a motor knock—particularly on hills.
WHY GULF IS ALWAYS FRESH
Gulf refines the very best gasoline that can be made, and then
