I have a 1995 Honda 8hp 4 stroke and appear to have water problems in the gas. Any problems with adding gas line antifreeze to the tank?

I would add water remover instead of gas line antifreeze... but gas line antifreeze will still help with the water problem.

Check the ingredients. I recall "dry gas" being basically ethanol.
Ethanol can absorb a certain amount of water, but after a point will seperate from the gas, just in case you're running E10.

Gas line antifreeze is hard on carbs with diaphams. and rubber gas lines. I would use isopropyl alcohol instead. You can get it in any drug store. Get the highest percent you can find. We use it in the canadian north a lot. To prevent ice crystals in the gas. You can cut it in half with water and it will still burn on a spoon. Much like the stuff from a good still and a potato mash.

The accepted method in the industry is to dump your bad 3 gallons of gas and start over.
