[Farmall] Water (or something) in gasoline

[Jim Becker]

It should show up in the can too.  Get a can of gas, put half in the tractor 
and leave half in the can.  When the problem shows up in the tractor, check 
the can.  If water hasn't separated in the can too, the gas isn't the 
problem.

Be aware that the amount of water the gas (with ethanol) can hold depends on 
temperature.  Water shouldn't separate from the gas unless the temperature 
is lowered.
