Re: What should I do with gas with H2O?
First off, don't add alcohol. Add a small amount of 2-stroke oil. That will dye the gas and help you distinguish if from the clear water. The oil will also help the water settle out more completely. Water will settle to the bottom. Situate the container so that the water will settle in a corner that you can reach with a syphon hose. Syphon it into a container until the water is out. You'll be able to tell by the color when the gas starts flowing.<br /><br />I do this alot for customers. Every portable tank gets this treatment. I never stick a customer with the "contaminated" gas. It's too darned easy to just remove the contaminant (water) and leave the gas in. The gas is just fine. Naturally it's a bit more difficult with built-in tanks. But if you can access a low corner, the same method applies. Raising the tongue jack and letting most of the air out of a trailer tire is an easy way to make a low corner to draw from. You just have to get the hose there.
<br /><br />This has nothing to do with your problem, but is another easy way to deal with water comtamination. After winterizing hundreds of boats each year, one accumulates a lot of drain oil. Some of that contains water. Those that collect waste oil to burn in furnaces wouldn't take Marina oil because of the water. I just let the containers outside to freeze and poured off the oil into another container. Same would apply to gas. Wrong time of year for that, though.
