Avgas samples taken from the wing tanks, at the engine, from another aircraft, and the fuel truck all appear standard clear blue with no residue visible. If left in the sun for a few hours, fuel turns milky white, then tan. Tan stuff settles to bottom and after fuel has evaporated off, the residue left behind has the smell of old stale auto gas, and a very smooth texture. I have been building airplanes for over 23 years and have never seen anything like this. Any comment? Thanks-Rob, Top Flight Services
