Default help o'donnell 20% fuel turns yellow??

i recently bought a quart of o'donnell racing fuel 20%, since the hobby store was out of blue thunder, my favorite choice. i payed $20 for that thing, and used it up fast. its just that after it sits in my clear tank for a while it turns a disgusting yellow color, originally clear. so i just dumped it into a container. is it still safe to use? has anyone else experienced this?
all replies will help, thank you.

Hey Jimmyjames, did anyone ever ask O'donnell about the changing fuel color? I work at a LHS and at least one customer has had the same problem. I had never heard of this. Thanks.
