Never in a boat tank but it's happened to me on my lawn mower and my compressor. Started using STA-BIL on everything and havent had any problems since :good

probably got the water at the pump. When the bulk tank gets low you tend to get all sorts of junk, water, sand, rocks, rust etc... We used to have an above ground Diesel tank for our tractors, when that thing would get close to empty nobody wanted to get fuel from it because you would spend your day on the water seperator and smell like fuel all day. :banghead

That's what I was going to say, if you pull in there right after a drop, chances are you'll get water especially if you get gas at some rinky dink place, had that happen in the tow vehicle before, that sucks!. :(

Which reminds me of my layover in Needles a couple of weeks ago.  I was waiting at a little tire shop because a storm knocked out the power.  They told me that the rain got into the AM/PM fuel tank next door. :eek
