water in gas tank

i have a '95 talari 180 ani went and filled it up this weekend and it only took nine gallons. then it ran out of gas half way through the day. then i put filled it up again and it only took six gallons and wouldn't start. so i took a furl sample from the line right after the pump. and there was 50/50 gas and water in a 20 ounce bottle. has anyone had this problem.i have not looked in to it to much. but was woundering if any one had any ideas or a simular problem.:confused:

With a handle like that it's hard to imagine you could need or 'want' any help. :)

Did you try any fuel stabilizer? http://www.goldeagle.com/sta-bil/

Hi KICKASS,

Any luck removing the water out of your tank? I assume you'd have to get it pumped out and then use a water remover for the remaining stuff at the very bottom ("Iso-HEET" Premium Water Remover works great). This is what we had to do when we found water in our tank.

Remember to use a fuel stabilizer whenever your not going to use your Mariah for a while. Here in California, our gas contains up to 10% ethanol and it just soaks up moisture if if sits around. I use "Sta-bil" brand fuel stabilizer.

Good luck,
WetWilly
