To perhaps move toward the "avoidance of doubt" regarding the allegation of fuel contamination at Winslow, may I suggest you might like to follow the "Talk " section of her Wiki page for some considered opinions beyond the much altered main "Article" q.v:

"Is there any reason the NTSB did not simply say "it was avgas"? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:21, 3 October 2018 (UTC)"

"Probably because the more technical term as used in the US is 100 low lead or, '100 l-l'. Whatever, it's the most common type of fuel used in aircraft. The report goes on to say that the gascolator and bowl were free of debris. That is pretty much saying 'there was no fuel contamination in that aircraft.' Had there been the slightest suspicion on the day, all aircraft that had used the same pump would have been warned.Nothing of that order took place. The main article is incorrect.80.12.59.81 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:49, 4 October 2018 "
