How many million years will it take for one cup of water to infiltrate a five gallon fuel container if tightly sealed?
The ethanol water absorption hysteria is wildly exaggerated. A person is more likely to suffer from the effects of contaminated fuel when filling their container at the pump.
You think it takes a cup of water to ruin a gallon of gas???
Not millions of years btw. Less than a year for sure.
Do what you will. I really don't know why you're here, since clearly you know all there is to know.
