Take a sample of the goop to a diesel supplier tech. Brown/Tan coloring to me would indicate moisture in the fuel. One has to remember that diesel tanks are warm after a run from the extra fuel returned to the tanks. Diesel tanks should be filled when warm, after a run. This will help lessen the condensation from the warm fuel in the tanks forming in the air space of the tanks. There may be a good product out there as an additive that may clean up your goop. Is the fuel you are buying clear or dyed? If dyed, most likely a red dye, but I have seen green dye to. Your colored goop may be from the mixing of different dyed fuels? Thus pulling a sample and have it analyzed.
