Crappy fuel??? - Torkey - 07-18-2014
So I have a race this weekend and I put the fuel barrel in the truck. I looked inside and at the bottom is this red grainy stuff.
Any one have any ideas what this is. I was thinking maybe algae but it's coarse almost like sand. But it does seem to be getting worse as it sits. After the last race in March I noticed a small amount of the stuff but there is a lot more now.

Rust?

Algae in diesel can get gritty, it takes all manner of shapes forms and colors in my experience

It is most likely catalist left over from refinery. It looks like a rusty sand.
