For the past two seasons (chesapeake) I have been troubled by water in fuel. after several misadventures with fuel polishers (including them 'polishing' my neighbors boat and charging me!), I took the boat to a yard at the end of the season and had the fuel tank pumped out and cleaned, and an inspection port installed. at the beginning of this season, I looked in the fuel tank and it was nearly dry- I think they had not filled the tank at the end of the job. but it was really clean!. no water seen. put a few gallons in the following week and tried to go over to the fuel dock, and on the way, engine died and could not be restarted. sailed back to my dock, yard found one inch of water in the little fuel I had, and completely water filled racor. drained h2O again, replaced filters and all is good to go, for now. all gaskets (filler o rings) have been replaced last year, and I cannot imagine how so much water is repeatedly getting into the fuel. no tank leaks. any ideas? (an inch of water in two weeks seems like an awful lot of condensation….)
