yeah had that myself only when i drained my "premium fuel" it had almost turned to water i still dont understand how this happend as the fuel tank is sealed and my bike is underneath our house undercover stored fuel is the first thing you would try with probs like that
Unless you had the fuel stored in an airtight metal container, with very little to no airspace, it will get condensation in it, that will fill it with water. Plastic containers will also let the more volatile components evaporate out of the fuel through the porous plastic, which reduces the octane of the fuel, and makes it more difficult to ignite.
Fuel in a bike fuel tank, is not sealed, as there is a vent in the cap, to prevent a vacuum from cutting off the fuel flow. This lets air in and out, but mostly it will let moist air, in, then a temperature change will cause the moisture to condense out of the air, and it drains off the tank walls into the fuel. This repeatsa number of times, and your gas is full of water. Higher humidity, and greater temperature fluctuations will make it worse, than low humidity, and small temperature fluctuations.
