Not surprising. Water is soluble in alcohol (and visa versa). So when e-gas is exposed to humidity in the air it will absorb water, if it becomes saturated and then cools the water will precipitate, often forming a gel like emulsion (scum) with the oils in the fuel.


Before e-gas you could buy a little bottle of methanol to dump into your tank to pick up any water at the bottom of the tank, parts stores sold it under various names.
