I run a testing lab that specializes in fuels. All fuels contain moisture in varying degrees. We run a test called the Karl Fisher Water test. It is one of several methods used to document fuel quality. The list of all tests is detailed in ASTM D 975. All fuels have the ability to carry water. Gasolines can and do carry varying levels and no fuel is ever free of all water. Typically the level is from 0 ppm to 450 ppm (parts per million). Blends of bio such as b2,b5, b10, etc. aren't going to have a severe affect on anything. More often than not the problem with all fuels is tank cleanliness. In the quality control programs that we run for major distributors, we find tanks with bacterial growths and water in teh bottoms, 15% of the time. These sceanrios are at the heart of 99.9% of the fuel problems. I have used B20 in my 766 & 966 for over 10 years now and I have encounter no problems whatsoever.
