Hey all,
Has anyone else been finding that there is more water in their gas tanks now that Ethanol is being added to the marina gas. I have been finding more than usual amounts of water being pulled through into the seperator. Is there an aftermarket gas tank vent that helps prevent moisture entering into the tank?

I have ran into the same thing and have heard from other owner about the same issues. What I found is that Ethanol has a tendency to create more condensation. What I have heard is that you have to add more additives to the fuel to prevent the moisture. Also add stabilizer, that will help.

Thanks Maximillion,
I have been adding aftermaket products from the local auto store to my gas tanks to help the moisture problem. I would imagine that it is worse of a problem in areas like here (Alabama Gulf Coast) where the relative humidity is really high most of the year.
