I can't believe you, You do know that where he is they use a yellow dye in the gas Right. Different company's and countries use different solvent color dyes in gas Like yellow, red. green, blue. purple and even black. The color of gas has nothing to do with it being bad. Here are just a few countries and the colors they use, check the link for more.

My fresh gas stays clear all time because I use FUEL STABILIZER. When it turns yellow I dump it.
