Wonder if anyone has seen this and/or is it of concern.
Today when sumping my tanks, the left tank was clean, no debris, water, pale blue, etc, the right tank sample was a deep navy blue color. like a new pair of jeans , no debris, water, etc. Took a second sample and it was practically clear as was fuel from the gascolator.
The last time I flew, Nov 8, there were no issues. The last time I topped the tanks was mid Oct at a fairly busy west Texas FBO, this, the last leg of a 2k mile round trip.
My thoughts are; why only the right tank, left has the same fuel; should I drain the tank and dispose of the fuel; add some "new" fuel to blend with the blue stuff or just move on as if "this happens sometimes"?
Appreciate any thoughts.
