Default Ethanol Sucks!

Had my V20 out awhile ago and had some trouble: Steering cable broke (got one on order) Helm and cable per this boards advise.

Been sitting awhile then tried to start today, well won't start for nothing. Tried setting points, nope no start, tried gas down carb, nope no start, tried moving distb timing, nope no start.

Then took off fuel water separator filter to check and see for water. Darn gum it! Water in the bottom of the glass jar.

I poured the gas back into the filter sans water and it started right up! So I have a E10 problem with water in my tank.

So my questions is: Do i have to empty the tank and clean it OR can i add some staybil to the gas in the tank and maybe change the filter a few times?

Thanks...
