The farm has a green jerry can that was filled with either gas or diesel last year. I'm not certain from smell alone which it is.
What's a good way to identify it? Pour out a tiny amount and set light to it?

There are several ways you could identify the contents:
If you pour just a little (very little) bit out, gas will evaporate, diesel won't. If you rub some on a flat surface, you should see the gas evaporate really easily, but the diesel will just make it slick.
