My brother has a problem with water in the fuel. He has drained the tank twice In to my yard truck and re fueled with fresh gas. Now the water is back again. The tank is sealed in the floor of the boat so we haven't removed it yet. there is a fuel water seperator on the boat too.
what do we do next???
Thanks
Mario

Mix the fuel with methylhydrate and run the boat,but don't run it WOT until you used up the gas.One quart to a full tank is a safe level

Then change your seperator. If your gas caps are getting wet, they might be vnted and your problem source.

I agree with HB, but also check your vent and vent hoses. I have seen vent hoses crack even under the floor. This could cause water to get in and dangerous gas fumes to be in the boat instead of venting out side. Make sure the vent ( if it has one ) is pointing downward. A pint of rubbing alcohol to 20 gallions of gas will also help disperse the water. Good luck. FC
