Ever left some 15% ethanol blend in a container for a year without stabalizer? Oopsy on my part but it formed small chunks. Also turned a bright yellow.
I would guess they are pushing the ethanol percentage combined with higher contaminates in the fuel.
Believe it or not, there are bacteria that live on surface of fuels and oxidize them for energy. Sometimes there are antibacterial additives, sometimes they are filtered off, but sometimes these just fall down to the bottom of storage barrel at gas station. This, mixed with rust and a little of water, forms that sludge. They see that because gas station runs out of fuel
I’m mildly curious about what that slime is, precisely. Some sorta… spoiled gasoline? Mixed with cooking oil or some shit?

That isn’t ethanol that is the ethanol can be mixed with worse gasoline.

Diesel I’d bet.
