I put in a new f/w separator about 3 weeks ago, drained the old fuel, tested (with Kolor Kut) for water in the old fuel before removing, and am using only non-ethanol fuel. The other day, I was drained my fws, and there was water. Hmm. Today, when I opened the fuel cap, I noticed condensation on the inside of the cap. I figure that condensation is my culprit. How do I address this? It isn't coming from the vent, as the vent was corroded and now vents into the cockpit (I know, I know), so it isn't exposed to seawater or rainwater. When we have heavy rain, I noticed that some gets below the fuel tank access hatch, so I changed the sending unit gasket as a precaution. Any ideas on preventing/limiting condensation?
