Default Re: glass fuel sediment bowl

I bought a new 1972 350 Honda leftover in the winter of 73.I rode it all summer,and could never fit a dollars worth of high test in the tank.I worked at the American station then,but didn't make two dollars an hour.I was in a good position when the oil embargo of 73-74 came around.American did have leaded gas,but most of their gas was unleaded,many years before it had to be.Their low octane unleaded was called Blue Boy then,which was what was called white gas.Could use it in Coleman lanters and stoves.You did NOT want to use their high test in a stove though.We'd almost get in arguements with customers,trying to explain that while the high test was unleaded,it WAS NOT our white gas.I still have my 300 gallon Agway tank that held green gas.I use it for kerosene now to heat a little house out back.Agways diesel was green too back then.Getty gas was red up into the early 90's anyway here in town.
