1) Gasoline will absorb and hold approximately 0.02% water at 60 degrees F. Any additional water will not be absorbed and will fall out as free water. The purpose of the sediment bowl is to collect the free water.
2) E-10 gasoline (90% gasoline and 10% ethanol) will absorb and hold approximately 0.5% water at 60 degrees F. Any additional water will not be absorbed and will fall out as a water/ethanol phase (phase separation). The sediment bowl will collect this water/ethanol phase.
3) As the temperature of the fuels are decreased, the ability to hold water is reduced. For example if you purchased 5 gallons gasoline at 60 degrees F and 0.02% water; at 20 degrees F approximately half of the absorbed water (2 CC) would fall out as free water.
4) In conclusion, even if one controls for zero condensation within the gasoline containers and tractor tank the water absorbed within the gasoline can fall out as free water due to temperature changes. For reference; 1 CC is approximately 30 drops.
