Hello Larry,
I never had any problems with water in the tanks except when parked over
night outside in a little mountanous get-away with the song birds
tweating and.....Sorry Monday morning romatacising..:)
Yes I saw a little water in the bottom of the tank. All I did was to
shake the wing to get any condensation off the top airspace, complete my
preflight and then drain the water off the bottom.
No probs!
Surprised you use 87 octane. I and a few others had problems with the
engine running on when the ignition was killed which spelled preignition
to us. Even happened with 89 octane but went away with 92 octane.
Just a thought.
Frank

Hi guys,
The winter weather has my hangar in its grip and the 601 is enjoying the
benefit of a oil-warming heater but, I'm concerned about water
condensing within the top of my fuel tank. There's about 2" that
remains open because of the overflow tube that leads out to the wing.
Should I be using one of the anti-water products like Heet or such in
this engine? The likelihood is that for 2 to 4 weeks, the plane will
set idle and the fuel will get stale or worse accumulate moisture. Any
opinions?
Larry McFarland - 601HDS - Stratus Subaru using 87-octane.

>Frank,
I've not had any run-on with the 87-octane on shut-down yet &
Mykal seemed O.K. with using Heet or alcohol product to reduce
water puddling in the tanks and lines.
Cold, 3-mi visibility and snow leaves little else but romanticizing
past flights.
