Water in Tanks after Rainstorms

Postby KingsRansom » Tue Oct 20, 2020 4:56 pm

I have a 2018 DC 325. I've owned it for 2 seasons. Last season and this season I have had a significant amount of water in my fuel tanks after rainstorms. My dealer thinks it is bad gas. I think it's too coincidental to have water in the tanks after rainstorms - 2 seasons in a row.

Has anyone had a similar issue?

Thanks!

The most common way for water to enter a fuel tank is the same way that fuel enters. Check the o-ring/seal on the fill cap. If that is the case, its an easy, cheap fix.

I had the same issue on my previous Cc. Replaced the fuel cap and was careful not to spray the cap directly with the hose while cleaning. The filler caps breath from under the cap and direct water will get in.
