odd colored gasoline

hoipigeons · Sep 10, 2016

I'm in the process of getting my "new" 1938 G to start. It started one day and I let it run for about two or three minutes and shut it off. When I went down just the other day, it wouldn't even begin to fire. Today when I went to put a different carb on (due to excessive flooding), the gas that I drained out was a fairly bright orange color. The gas in the sediment bowl is pretty much clear like it should be. I put an inline lawnmower type filter in the line just in case the tank was really crappy, and the gas in it looks orange also. ????????????

Thanks in advance!!!

Rust. Have you drained the tank/line ? HTH

I flushed out the tank when I got it, and put new fuel lines on. The carb was from the GM that I'm restoring. I guess I never thought of rust being in the carb since I haven't used it for a little over a year.

Thanks!
