My car bogs down when my tank is low and I make a sharp turn or climb a hill

Is your car carbureted or fuel injected? When was the last time you changed the fuel filter(s)? This is important info for diagnosis.
To simply eliminate condensated water in your gas tank simply use a product that does that. I like to use Duralube for the Fuel System. It gets rid of water and cleans the carburator or fuel injectors, too. Sea foam is another GREAT product. You can get both at O'Rielly's.
After running a FULL tank with the product of choice (following it's instructions to the letter) never go for very long without filling your tank COMPLETELY. A FILLED tank can't collect condensation as easily or as fast as one that never gets filled very much.
If after replacing the fuel filter(s) and running the "gas drier" of choice, you don't get results you need to take you car in and have it put on the computer analyzer to find out what is going on for sure. I'd, personallym start with checking the fuel pump(s), then the carb or injectors and work from there.

It's entirely possible. The tanks can become contaminated if they aren't well maintained. I had the same problem with gas from a Texaco station years ago. After running the tank down and filling at a different station the problem disappeared. There is a product called 'dry gas' which some auto parts stores carry which will help to eliminate the water when added to the tank.

To eliminate water from your fuel tank completely would be difficult. You can add a cup or two of metho [methylated spirit (in Australia)] to your tank which will absorb the moisture and be 'burnt' with the fuel.
The problem however may be caused by something like an incorrect float level in your carburettor. Hope this helps.

You can buy something called 'dry gas' at the auto parts store. It helps eliminate moisture in the tank. When you buy it get instructions on how to use it.
It could also be a computer chip or a transmission problem. Have you check the transmission fluids lately?

Go to your nearest NAPA parts store and buy a case of Thermo-aid and put only one can in your full tank of gas, you're see a difference and will be glad that you have 11 cans on hand for future use and to use in other vehicles.

That could be residue in the tank rather than water. What year is the vehicle? Dry Gas is used for water in the tank. Have you thought about draining the tank?

Seafoam or Lucas fuel treatment works best for me.In one part of the state, we have a big problem with water in fuel at almost every station. Have a 2002 Montero Sport with 280,000 miles . Neighbors use Lucas or Seafoam for their Kia, Astro and their Suburban.
