I live in a hot dry climate so condensation or other means of water getting into my fuel tank is quite rare.

However in the past 6 months I have had two instances of water in my fuel tank. In each case I'm not certain exactly where it came from. 

It happened again today and I almost missed it. 

If you're running Auto gas and you just take a quick look at the fuel tester it can appear clear, depending on the lighting condition such as a dark hangar.

That happened to me, again, this morning.

I took a quick look at the fuel sample and it looked mostly clear in my dark hanger.

However there was something slightly milky/hazy about it.

I decided to take a closer look outside and could clearly see that by then the water and fuel had separated and the bottom half of the tester was water. 

So I just wanted to remind people that if you are running Auto gas, you need to be a little more diligent about checking for water. It can appear almost the same color as Auto gas.

You also need to wait a few seconds for it to separate. 

If the fuel appears milky/hazy at all you should take a minute to double check.
