Can fuel convert to water?

[krakatoa]

Guys
I have the trouble of water in my fuel tank, I thought that maybe it comes via the fuel sender, I seal the sender with 5200. On Monday I syphon over 7 oz of clear water, yesterday siphon again over 2 liters of water. Recently I changed the floor carpet and notice water at the top of the fuel tank, there is any possiblity that the waters filter thru the tank? At this time there is no gas leak, any clues????

Do you leave the boat to sit for a while unused?? It may be condensation forming in the fuel tank. Try filling the tank full with fuel before parking it and see what happens. Also it may be possible you have a pinhole leak on the top where you said the water was pooling, try putting water there and see if it goes away into the tank.

Check your vent. Make sure the cover isn't allowing water to come in via the vent hose. Could be your fuel supplier as well

Ayuh,...

The Vent Hose needs to be looped Up, before it drops to the tank,...

If it goes Straight to the tank,..
That's where the water is coming from....
