There is also the very real possibility that this brown stuff is iron rust which is present in just about every bulk storage tank in the whole world and is referred to as " Tank Bottoms " There is often some water there also and perhaps caustic. It is possible the original source was a Refinery or Marketting Tank. There is also the possibility that the truck used to haul the fuel to where ever had been PRIOR used for carrying other material. That is referred to as " switch loading " and can occur out in the "Boonies "
If it were my aircraft, I would be interested in collecting as much as possible of that stuff and doing an analysis of it. I WOULD NOT SUSPECT THE SOURCE AS BEING THE AIRCRAFT, BUT I WOULD KEEP AN OPEN MIND SOMEWHAT. I DON'T ACCEPT 'CRAP' IN MY FUEL EVER.

My fuel tanks were rebuilt in 2002 by an A&P and I.
There is no sloshing compound in them and I don't use
auto gas or Marvel mystery oil or any other additives.
So, either it is the manganese additive from the gas
company or I got something bad from another airport
somewhere, as no one else at my home port has had the
problem.
