Like as has been said.....get a fuel sample and inspect it for water....that will be the only way to say for sure.

Re: Water in the gas
If you have old ethanol, most likely you will have what is known as phase separation. Instead of a distinct line that you would see separating gas from water, the gas will be very cloudy looking.
If you have water in your tank, you really have two options. Get a fuel polishing guy to polish your fuel where he will pull the water out of your tank or take lots of short trips and drain your filter after each one until all the water is gone.
