Could it just be a case where the older copper line oxidized internally when the fuel line had dried out from sitting, and then the application of new fuel later started to dissolve that internal copper corrosion and tinted the gas?

If so, then just submerging the non-corroded copper sample in fuel may never replicate the corrosion that the copper would see in a non-submerged environment.

To me, the test would be to take a piece of heavily corroded copper and place that into modern fuel and see if that causes the fuel to dissolve the corrosion and tint the fuel.

Perhaps this was already one of your scenarios that I just missed in the thread above.
