Garage / Re: Water in Fuel Tanks
« Last post by 4129R on Today at 04:17:03 AM »My original fuel tanks leaked water into the tank/tanks through the top of the tank. Rain comes in through the bonnet screens and lays on top of the tanks where the 1/4" lip doesn't alloy the water to drain. A rust hole finally appeared. I lived with it by installing a marine water/fuel separator filter. The problem was resolved once and for all by installing new aluminum tanks.
I have not had a problem with ethanol causing excessive water condensation.
I have tested the tops by filling the 1/4" with water. None leaked into either tank after 2 hours. I took the drain plugs out, and the tanks were still completely dry.
