I have had this problem ever since I bought my 750 sx.Ever time I go out I get water in my gass tank.I have a one way valve on the air breather line,The gas does not leak out but I get water in.last time I drained my tank I had a gallon of water in it.It could have something to do with the filler hose from the hull to the tank kinda hard to get to.anyone had this problem before.

I had the same problem on my 750sx. The filler neck itself was cracked and over time a good bit of water got in the tank. Mine was cracked on the outside of the boat between the flange and the threads. It was hard to see so it took me a while to find it.

The rubber gaskets deteriorate on the inside of the gas caps (and sometimes fall out). Make sure yours is in there and that is is in good shape. That was letting water into mine. ... Make sure nothing is cracked also, especially right where you screw the gas cap on.
...Make sure your vent line is wayyy up the handlepole. That will help.

I just changed my cap today!

I have checked my gasket and it looks good.I do have a small crack on the filler nozzel but it is where it screws to the hull so water would get in the hull not the tank.Thanks for all the advice.I will just take it all apart and check it out.
