Re: water in tank
You might try a gasoline dryer additive:
Amazon.com: HEET 28201 Gas-Line Antifreeze and... I've never tried any so don't know how well it works. It may depend on how much water is in the tank. I believe water is heavier than gasoline, so it may settle to the bottom allowing it to be removed by syphon, again depending on how much water is present.

Re: water in tank
I thought the gas blended w/ ethanol didn't have a problem with water since the ethanol is water soluble. I'm often wrong. This could be one of those times...

Re: water in tank
thanks for the fast responce. we have decided to suck all the gas out. then put some 104 buster, and fill the tank with 92-94 gas just in case.lets cruise!
