Started up the coach this morn to take it to work and it is barely able to run.I keep it going till the air pump gets ride height.I sold the parts car on ebay and mine is not fully buttoned up yet so I take off spittin and a sputterin.I get a ways down the road and up to 45 mph and it coughs out the carb ONCE and then all of a sudden it is PERFECT again.I call Jeff at Sirum cause now I want to know WTF.He right away says oh yeah,its water! One tank says half and the other says a quarter.Condensation down here with temps going from 40's to 90's little drops form all across the top of the inside of both tanks.If full they can take the water intrusion if low on fuel the water can almost take over.I was worried at first but got 100 someodd miles today so he was right on!!!!!
