A little help with a water-in-fuel issue please. Running a new-ish Suzi 115 (on 10% ethynol gas). This has happened to me twice now; I drew a fuel sample into a clean pickle jar, capped jar and observed sample to be normal, clear and bright, slightly amber. After letting the sample sit for a while, no change. When I opened the jar, after a short period of time, the sample turned cloudy and a bob-let of (dirty) water emulsified (if that is the right term) at the bottom of the sample. Did I initially misinterpret or miss something about the sample? Am I looking at water that was absorbed by the ethynol? Either way, I've got water in my fuel... right?

I know there's at least one rocket scientist amongst the Tugnuts... never met a dumb Ranger-owner.
