Couple of ice cubes and its a nice glass of iced tea
Yes, that's pretty old gas, leave it overnight, see if any water shows up at the bottom
If you added gas with ethanol(regular) or a gas treatment it will bond with the water so separation takes longer and gas part will still be cloudy instead of transparent
Aging gas seen here: https://thedirtbikereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/What-is-the-original-color-of-gas.jpg
As it gets older it looks more like apple cider but is still slightly transparent
Yours is cloudy so most likely has water mixed in, or ??
Most people have never seen gasoline in a clear glass, when you fill up the gas can and bring it home, put some in a glass just to see what it looks like
All Gasoline does have color added by manufacturer, its actually fairly clear, colorless, after its made/refined
Regular gas tends to be greenish/blue
Mid-octane yellowish
Premium pinkish
But, like coolant, there is NO color standard for gasoline, but regardless of color "fresh" gasoline will be transparent
