Default Problems with Powermaster in cans

Anyone having trouble with Powermaster glofuel in the new metal containers? My first one had an air leak at the base of the plastic cap connection to the can. It built up a finely divided black precipitate which I did not spot till my OS48 said bang on take off and spit off the lock nuts and prop and you know what happened to the plane!

The second one had the same air leak and a gray white precipitate slowly comming down. I filtered it off into a clean plastic fuel bottle. My 4 strokes began to run badly on it.

I switched to omega's four cycle fuel in plastic and all is now well. I know there was water in both cans but something else is amiss. The second can ruined my OS-F gloplugs. BUMMER.
