Good point. No, I am not sure that the strange bubbly stuff is water. It may very well be alcohol, as you suggest. Or perhaps some other foriegn substance. But whatever it is - it sure does not look 'right'.

Also - I need to know - what ever it is - is it harmful to the gas and to the car's fuel system, etc.

P.S. - about 30 miles from here, in a small village called 'Petrolia', around about 1850 or '60, California's first oil was discovered - long before Bakersfield (and Buck Owens). It had no water (or alcohol) in it.
