Water in fuel

[ducpainter]

I've never seen a gas tank that drains directly from the bottom of the tank. Fuel is always sucked from pick-up tubes that stick up 2-3" from the bottom. That allows water & gunk to settle below the good gas.

To get it out use a suction device with the suction hose end wire-tied to the end of a stick to get to the very bottom of the tank. I do this every fall on my boat. Acceleration/deceleration can cause that pool of water to spill over into the pick-up tubes. That can cause sputtering and will also form new pools of water in your float bowls.

On carby Monsters the fuel comes from a threaded fitting about 1/2" from the lowest point on the tank.

It's Italian...remember?

The theory's the same, though.
Gotta' suck out that last half inch (I had a girl tell me that once...........still don't know what she meant!  )
