I would like to ask experts what causes stable gasoline emulsions?

The gasoline obtained from sampling the recycled fuel turns yellow, while another batch of catalyzed gasoline produced from the same recycled material remains fine. What could be the reason for the emulsification of the gasoline? ?
Gasoline will emulsify when it contains water; check whether the water-in-oil interfacial levels of models Rong-201 and 301 are functioning properly, or if there is any internal leakage in the oil-gas-water cooler at the top of the fractionation tower
Emulsification of crude gasoline during sampling is a normal phenomenon, as the separation between acidic water and crude gasoline is not very effective. However, emulsification of refined gasoline is not normal, and it has no direct connection to gasoline that fails quality standards
Stabilizing gasoline emulsions? It’s a bit like what’s said in the joke: the surgery was performed too deeply, and the operating table got damaged as a result. Under conditions of moderate temperature, the occurrence of oil-water emulsification is due, in addition to gasoline containing water, to the presence of alkaline substances; it is also caused by a high pH value of the acidic water, and this is likely resulting from an excessive amount of alkaline nitrogen compounds in the crude residue.
