How much water can be trapped in gas? How much water is made during combustion?

I am getting a lot of water out of the exhaust pipe on my little pulling tractor. This one is powered by a Suzuki GSXR 750 engine. I am not losing coolant. The motor is running great. The pipe goes straight up about 2' in front of me so it is very visible to me when I take off. I have had others ask what I was putting in my fuel. I have been adding the "recommended" dose of Marvel Mystery oil in an attempt to clean up the intake valves. This little thing screams. I had it bouncing on the rev limiter at 15,500 rpm last week while pulling. I had too low of a gear in it for that track.

I guess the easiest thing to do is drain the tank and refill with fresh fuel to see if that cures it.

On a side note. How much fuel do you think needs to go through a pump to "flush" lower octane fuel out of the system before the higher octane is running undiluted? I only buy a few gallons at a time for the pulling tractors. I usually put some into another jug before filling the "good" one.

The way gas pumps are made, it should be less than an ounce. There are two hoses, one inside the other, and it is blended at the nozzle.
