    You can get water in the gas from a lot of places, plastic gas cans, gas pumps, and people. Most people may not know that when they change grades of gas in the pipe line they use water in between the two grades this how we get sum water in our tanks. One thing you may check is the vent on your gas can, had that trouble one time and got lots of water in tank.

    Well got some good news I put a hasp and lock to cover the fuel filler cap. I went and had a discussion with the other dealer and he apologized and refunded me $215.00 that I paid him. Don't know if he was in on it or the mechanic tried to pull a fast one. My boats will never go back there. I put the boat in and rode about 10 miles up the lake with no problems. Got back to the house and put it on the boat lift. Now got to get the other one out tomorrow and check it. My boat on the lift is a 19 ft tracker deep vee that has a 42 gallon built in tank. There has not been any gas put in it in a month so I am sure I did not get it when I put gas in it the last time as I mix my gas and I only put 12 gals in it at the time. The boat is sitting in my yard and anybody can come in the yard. Strange things happen maybe I pissed of a spirit. Don

    I had taken my boat to Holcombe Marine which is a fairly new repair place on hwgy 378 up by the traffic circle. They have worked on my boats before and I have had good service. They were the ones that found the water in my Yamaha. This time somebody got greedy.
