That's why you should use a can of dry-gas (alcohol) every month - helps
get rid of the water in the tank. When you go out in the morning and see
condensation all over your car - there's a good chance you have
condensation inside your tank also. However in some parts of the country
you gasoline already has alcohol in it so there's no need for the dry gas.
Just check the pump.
