I just installed my fuel tanks and washed them out with lacquer
thinner before installing them. I noticed that the solvent that I
drained out was tinted.

The tanks were part of my kit from ZAC.

Hi fellow builders: A few days before starting my Rotax engine for the first
time, I put a couple gallons of premium auto gas in each wing tank to make
sure there were no leaks. Just before starting the engine, I drained some
fuel from the wing tanks and the gascolator to check for water-there
was none.
The wing tanks were fine but the fuel sample from the gascolator was tinted
to the color of dark beer. I kept draining the gascolator until it was the
color of the wing tank fuel sample. The engine started and ran fine.
I checked the gascolator the next day and the fuel was still tinted although
not as much.
I am using the fuel lines supplied by Zenith in my 701 kit.
Question- Has anyone else had a similar experience with tinted fuel from the
gascolator?

Thanks in advance, Mike Elrod 701 99% complete
