Think i got water in fuel tank

[calais_cruzin]

Hey all

This morn my car stalled a couple times, thinking it was fuel as it was gettin low.
Chucked in 10L bringing it up to 18L on the dash. (just under 1/4 on guage)

But the bugger still stalled on me, only when i hit a incline left or right.

Got me thinking i may have sum water in this fuel from all the rain QLD has recieved.

Should i try putting metho in there??
If so what ratio should i use, like 250ml to 10L fuel, im not sure.

Any tips? would like to be able to drive home from work n not have a stall.

The car has never run out of fuel on me, guage was close to the lowest ive ever had it, but still had few L on the digi read out, but was that water too???

About a cup or 250 ml of metho to around a quarter of a tank of fuel works good..I do this once every 6 months or so just to get rid of any moisture that might have built up in the tank.

Pulled the tank out today, took bout 2hrs

Emptied the tank, skimmed off as much fuel as i could to put back in.

Wasnt much water in there, say 20-50c peice at the bottom, most of it probly in my filter so ill do that tomorrow when i got cash.

Found a couple small bits of hose n 2x clamps that i have no idea where they from, pump was all good so must be old onse from yrs back.

Gave it a quick idle n rev, seems ok, goin to get more fuel now
