Yellow fuel

Hi guys,

My petrol has gone a strong shade of yellow in my aluminium tank.

Is that:

A) normal?
B) damaging to my engine?

My engine runs like poo which may be something to do with it?

im guessing that the fuel has been sat in your tank for a long time?

how long has it been in the tank? Some people report problems with petrol "going off", but never had a problem.
A fresh supply may be worth a try

It had only been in there a couple of weeks but it was a new tank
