I have a 1976 Archer, I have found after sitting for a week, when I take a fuel sample from the gascolator it has a tan color appearance to it, instead of the light blue you normally see with 100LL. When taking sample from the tank drains, it is the normal light blue color. So something is changing the color appearance of the fuel between the tanks and the gascolator. I am curious if anyone has experienced this and what the fix is.

Also note, I have cleaned the gascolator and screen all with no change. I am worried I have a fuel hose breaking down and causing this.
