Any one have any ideas what this is. I was thinking maybe algae but it's coarse almost like sand. But it does seem to be getting worse as it sits. After the last race in March I noticed a small amount of the stuff but there is a lot more now.
So I have a race this weekend and I put the fuel barrel in the truck. I looked inside and at the bottom is this red grainy stuff.
