Author	Topic:   Water in Gas Tank
David13	posted 07-22-2001 01:12 PM ET (US)         I have a 30 gallon gas can. I use it to transport gas to my boat. During the winter I store the can in the shed and it accumulates some water (condensation). Unlike my boat, which I fill the gas tank for winter storage, I am unable to do this with the 30 ga. can. I have a FillRite pump to pump the gas out of the can and I have added a water separating filter which catches some of the water. To check the gas, I pumped some into a clear glass ˝ ga. bottle. It initial had some tiny bubbles (I interpreted as water) floating around. The bubbles settle out and attach them selves to the bottom of the jar, now appearing as condensation. I have to turn the jar on it side shake the bubbles loose for them to accumulate to make a drop of water. Is a drop or two of water in a ˝ gallon something to be concerned about? What damage or problems will a little bit of water have on my Mercury 25hp 2 stroke if I run this gas through it? Is there anything else I can do to further remove the water form this gas? THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE…
