This may be a stretch, but if the tanks are a bit tan on the inside, could it just be a good coating of alodine or is there stuff flaking off?

I used one or two tankfulls of autofuel back in the 80's. Other than that, I have always used AvGas (80 when you could get it, 100LL now). I use only 100LL now.

In this I’m completely ignorant. This gives us a count of 2 out of 2 Alons with the brown coating. Anyone else know anything? Wayne, do you use Autofuel or just 100LL?

My Alon has some sort of brown colored coating within all the tanks, and I don't think any of the tanks have ever been removed. It would seem that an adequate "slosh" coating would be difficult with the tanks still on the airframe! Once in a while, if the airplane sits for a period of time (a month) it will show some impurities in the test sample, but only small flecks, and I'm not so sure it is the sloshing compound. I have run a good deal of fuel through that puppy, and I have never experienced any fuel clog problem, only fuel problem I have experienced was with a fuel deficiency due to air in the fuel delivery line.
