<VV> Bright Green Carb Deposits

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Nor have I, but I have seen some green stuff in my snowblower engine's carb when I forgot to drain it one year. Not fluorescent, but definitely concentrated fuel dye.

I have never seen the dye remnants in carbs that JVHR mentioned in racing 
fuel..higher octane than 93, though. All other kinds of contaminants; dirt, 
specs of this and that, but no green.
