Keith. I have yet to make fuel of the quality and clarity as displayed in your reference photo. One improvement I made this year was to purchase a cone bottom tank for settling the batch. It has helped. But my biggest obstacle is patience.
I have gotten sloppy making fuel during the summer and the quality shows. I also do not have a heated garage so I can not make fuel during the winter. I'll be making my last batch any weekend now. I'll make an extra effort to make some "show fuel". I is just too easy to make fuel that works. I have to try harder to make good fuel.
