Moisture In Fuel

I am having trouble with moisture in my fuel tank of my W6. Sometimes my tractor sits outside and gets rained on. The sediment bowel seems to be catching some of it, but not all of it. I have an inline filter installed. Short of parking inside all the time, what can I do to remove the water? I have a boat that I had the same problem with so I installed an inline water seperating filter but can't use that here as it is gravity fed. Ideas??

What usually happens is as you have said, water forms from condensation. Some loads of gasoline are at best marginal on the water content side. After about 200 ppm of water in gasoline, it won't mix and falls out. You can buy an in line hydroscopic filter. You can also add a little ethanol if it is available where you live. Don't add more than 10% though. The ethanol increases the gasoline's ability to absorb the water.

Poor a can of HEAT in the tank every time you fill it, and after 3 or 4 times the water will be gone, until you get it in there again. Usually water in the tank is from condinstion.

The old gas line anti freeze or methyl hydrate, cheap, will remove water from the fuel, ecess should be drained off in the sediment bowl, methyl hydrate will take care of the rest...Mike in Exeter Ontario

I would suggest a fuel additive to get rid of the moisture. try Napa or Carquest or some automotive place.
