I was getting the snow blower ready for winter and when I went to fill
the tank noticed the gas in the can was cloudy. The gas was purchased
around the beginning of Oct and stored with a tight lid so I cant
imagine it has gone bad...or has it???? Is it ok to use?


I called the gas station but they don't seem to know anything.


If it was avgas, it would be rejected as possibly causing carb. icing.


Water in the gas causes carburetor icing?


One cause. The jets can block with ice. Depends on atmospheric
conditions.
Test papers are available to determine the level of water in avgas.
A sample of every load of avgas delivered has to be taken tested and
retained, at least in the UK.
