    Does anybody know what this is?? Doesn't quite have the right color for rusty water but I can't think of anything else it could be.

    Probably longer than it should have. What's weird is my neighbor uses TruFuel in his chainsaw but maybe he uses regular gas in his blower. His complaint was that it didn't have power and ran worse than his handheld Stihl blower.
