do not archive
This probaby does not apply, but.......
Several years ago a fellow bought two new gas cans specifically to carry gas from the airport to his private grass strip.
Turns out the cans had some sort of coating inside. Never did know if it was paint or something else.
Fuel "looked" okay as he was pouring it into the airplane, but after even a short flight he could get crud from the drains.
He got the cans at a "farm store" so I'm not sure they were actually "gasoline" cans.
So much for that story.
Also, since "crud" is more dense (heavier) than fuel, you might take a look at the inside of the hose from the gascolator to the engine. It might be coming apart/melting from within and falling down and into the gascolator!
