[QUOTE="Chris-PA, post: 5138525, member: 67290"] The main reason you don't have as much problem with water in the fuel in automobiles is fuel injection - as long as it is liquid the injector will squirt it through. It won't burn and you may set some misfire codes if it's bad enough, but usually it will keep running. It would have to be really cold and a lot of water for the pump in the tank to freeze up. I suppose if it froze up the fuel rail solid you could have a problem, but if even a small amount of fuel can get through you probably won't notice it and the rail will heat up relatively fast. With a carb water is a big problem even if not frozen, as the water will not vaporize and it just sits there blocking the fuel passage. It won't pass through like with an injector. [/QUOTE]
