    Hey guys, I’m new to LAFB Elite. This post caught my attention, because I recently had a problem with water getting in my tank. It turned out to be the fuel sending unit gasket.

    I agree with what others have already said. Ethanol free definitely sits at some gas stations longer(maybe years). Personally I’ve only had that issue once, and had to siphon it from a brand new mower. Otherwise, I’ve never had problems with the fuel itself, even when it’s months old. I’ve seen problems with old ethanol gas multiple times.

    If you’re having that much trouble with water, either the gas station has old/bad gas or you’re getting water in somewhere.
