Gasoline also contains “gum” (sometimes called “sugar”) which is the residue left over and measured after evaporation.

It can be the result of higher boiling oils that were not removed during the refining process or particulate from bad fuel handing. It can also be created by oxidation during storage or the chemical reaction of some fuel components.
