You will need to re-tune it. You would have to do this because of either the new fuel or the change in environmental conditions.
If that fuel really has no lubricant in it you should change ASAP.

Yes, go back to factory setting and re-tune. Look on the label of your new fuel to find a lubrication percentage. If its higher than 10-15% it should be okay. As for the color of the gas, dont worry about that. Most fuel manufacturors add dye to the fuel for color.

Be careful about that fuel and check what it actually is before runing it.
You have no idea what it is or what it is for!!??
