[Farmall] Water in the gas

[cvill]

Great pictures, Tom.  I agree that looks like a lot of water, if it is 
water, and pretty clear too.  One would think that with the e90 gas, the 
water would mix with the gas and not show.  My only suggestion would be 
to take the bowl off one more time.  If you can lay a hand on a quart 
fruit jar, hold it under the opening and turn on the fuel.  If it is 
water you will see it in the glass jar. Drain a pint and check it.  If 
it actually has water, do it again.  Sooner or laler the water will have 
to run out.  Good luck.
