After my last post about low power, dying, hard or not starting I added diesel winter conditioner. The tractor has run fine in two fifty minute sessions since then under similar temperature conditions.

Vaporizes the water??? Not sure what good that would do in a fuel tank as it would just condense and reform to liquid water. There are two things you can do to water in a tank, emulsify or demulsify it. A emulsifier combines with the water so it can pass safely through the fuel system. I get the feeling this is what you are thinking of, the water after emulsified would be vaporized in the combustion chamber. A demulsifier drops the water out of solution leaving it on the bottom of the tank to be safely drained off. A good additive will do a little of both. It will emulsify a safe amount of water so it can pass through the fuel system and demulsify any remaing so it can either be drained or handled with the next batch of fuel.

Thanks for the reply. "Vaporize" - Sorry I must have watched too many Star Trek shows.

Reason I was asking is that I stored an RV for the winter but the tank wasn't topped off. Figure it has about 3/4 of a tank. Filters were new and the fuel did have PS in it. Concerned I'll have water in it when I pick it up.
