monitor it = gas only. Water will go to btm of gas tank, so, if filter has no water in it
then there is supposed to be no water in the gas tank.
Yesterday we ran across the river, down the river, crossed back over to the west bank, motored up
to where we put in, crossed back across the river again, fished a little bit more, then
decided to cross back across to the ramp to go home. On that return the motor began acting up
but it gets us back. = Sure enough the water/fuel seperator is full of water.
So, WHAT THE HEY ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Where it that water coming from ???????????
It's only a small amount (1/2 cup) but ......................................
I'm lost ...........................
I agree with Mike, it could come from gas tank breather, but, can't find one on this boat = must
be hidden inside the gas tank cavity within the boat etc, etc ... So that pretty much rules it
out as a culpert etc, etc........
Only other thing is that place where I get my gas is selling gas with water in it .....
But, water would go to bottom of tank and it would come out first etc, etc, etc...
Can you hook a portable tank, that you know has no water, in place of built in? Should tell you which direction to look.
Don't happen to have a portable tank = but that sure might solve some of the mystery for sure...Quote:

2 that are in the slot...WTG Danny
Are you running pump gas or non ethanol gas?
If you are running fuel with ethanol, a certain amount of water will go into solution with the ethanol in the fuel before it hits a phase separation point, at which the ethanol becomes saturated and the EtOH and H20 fall out together and go to the bottom of the tank.
You can actually measure the ethanol levels in fuel utilizing water. That would explain why you have no issues until it hits a certain point.
And what kind of hull are you running?
As explained earlier = (please go back and re-read ) above ground tanks/non ethanol/ from gas company (supplier, NOT gas station).........Quote:

Where you from ???????????
Now, I got a strong hint of a clue yesterday = I opened my anchor locker and
got a whiff of gas odor in there = Ah ! ! ! !
Something's got to be up with the tank to be giving off fumes, going to investigate further
today etc, etc, etc ......
My apologies, I had forgot about your other thread, there is no mention of it in this one. I also apologize for missing the "ang r" in the picture. Was just trying to help. Bit testy ain't ya?Quote:

You will have to excuse Sunshine, he ain't got many smarts.
But as far as being a yankee, shade tree, wanna be mechanic.
Then you would be spot on the money!
But he's good people!!
