    I have the same boat. I have not had any fuel issues. Check your cap to make sure it seals properly.
    Next would be your fuel supply/gas station. High humidity and cool temps can also cause condensation in your tank.
    You might also consider installing a fuel/water separator.

    Water in your fuel is no fun!
