I recently cleaned my carb, and all this purple liquid spilled out. What is it?

I recently cleaned my carb, and when I took it off I noticed this lever. What is it? Thanks!

The purple is probably Stabil or some other additive for seasonal fuel storage.

Looks like grape juice.

Could be the flexible fuel line leaching off color from itself in a chemical reaction of sorts with the fuel.
