Fuel Oddity

So I am doing the ol' tank screen clean and start by draining what is left in the tank. Start off by using a glass container so I can get a look at it and what do I see? The fuel is blue.... What gives? This stuff looked like 2 stoke fuel. All I put in it is the white power service. Is this normal or caused by the crap growing in my tank? Does florescent yellow number 2 mixed with off orange-brown power service make blue on the fuel color wheel? I did find that I had a badly clogged screen. Just thought I would get some ideas before I button things up. Thanks.

Prob is the lil critters that caused the screen to get plugged/restricted.

Try adding a Biocide.
