Good observation, Hugh. I've had more trouble this winter and last with water in my gas than I've had in all the rest of my life.

I tend to chalk it up to condensation, the way the weather's been, and the times it made a problem, the dry gas fixed her right up.

I was asking around a while back to see if anybody else was having the same experience and opened a whole can of worms about the quality of fuel, and the effect of additives. Agreed the dry gas will get you running. But a lot of opinions on ethanol in gas from the pump and whether the ethanol or even the additives (dry gas or StaBil) would draw moisture, as they're made to absorb it. I understand the argument from that side, but also figure that they won't draw any more moisture than they can chemically absorb. Once they're saturated, they don't draw any more. Or so I would think.
