I always put the first "squirt" in a can before gassing the ATV. It makes a great starter for the campfire..

IS his the very first time you filled the tank?
IS this a new Toyhauler, or recent purchase?
What brand fuel did you buy?
I know at least one brand is tinted blue, don't know about the others.
I just know that if you use red dye fuel in your truck, it is a huge fine! for not paying the road fuel tax. Red dye fuel is only for off road vehicles, generators, and things like tractors on a farm.
If it is a brand new toyhauler, first congratulations on the new purchase, and also they might have coated the inside of the fuel tank with oil when they manufactured it, and this might have changed the fuel color a little bit. So how full did you fill the tank? If only 10 gallons in a 36 gallon tank, it might have a high percentage of oil to fuel, but if you filled it all the say, it should have diluted a lot.

Yes first pint /quart not a problem with using it. You might have dislocation from everything being new but, its normal for the hose to color the fuel.
