Re: Water in Gas
Adding ethanol in some way will probably get rid of it in a less noticeable way than the current one. It'll mix evenly with the ethanol and burn without making a fuss. If you have access to petrol that's part ethanol a few litres of that will do the trick.

Re: Water in Gas
Ethanol (E10) blended gas at the pumps is the problem. Ethanol attracts water so if your tank is less than full you have moist air in rest of tank space.

Re: Water in Gas
Ethanol (E10) blended gas at the pumps is the problem. Ethanol attracts water so if your tank is less than full you have moist air in rest of tank space. Condensation will form either way to some degree. Less if the tank is kept mostly full. But water and ethanol is soluble so the water can go some...

From the amount of water observed in the bottom of the jar it would seem that the bottom half of the filter below th...

On Coast to Coast radio program a good 15 years ago a guest stated that by adding a small amount af acetone to each tank will boost fuel e...

Re: Water in Gas
The pump will do it for you if you just turn the ignition to 2 and put a tube in a good place, yes. Heet seems to be mostly expensive methanol which does the same thing as adding ethanol. But if you have a lot of water, enough to make the var run poorly, I'm guessing you'd need a lot more to really ...

Re: Water in Gas
That's a lot of water. You might look at the station where you last purchased gas as a possible cause. It happens. Once a year or so locally I'll hear of some station where their underground tank didn't get sealed properly after a delivery and a torrential rain ends up in people's fuel tanks. Or the...
