Anybody run across this before? I put a new fuel line on this O-200 ran it and then it sat for a few months waiting to send the carb out for rebuild. I just pulled the carb and when I unhooked the fuel line at the carb the gas that came out was yellow. The carb when drained was yellow fuel also. I did a sump on both tanks and also from the gascolator . Then thru the fuel line, all these samples came out OK, blue colored. This airplane runs only 100 LL.
The thought I have is the fuel line sat in my tool box for about three or four years sealed from the manufacturer until I installed it and it went bad, So anybody seen this before? Thanks guys.
I’m going to put a new fuel line on anyway just to be sure, cheap insurance.
