Take the contents in the container outside in a safe place with no combustable materials around and try to ignite with a lit match.  If it ignites like gasoline, must be gasoline.  If the match is extinguished, must be water (via condensation).
On an air-cooled scooter it is pretty easy to narrow down the possibilities

or it could be, the water in the battery is running through the pos cable  along that route through the spark plug wires, into the cylinders!!! or someone selling you some bad gas.
