A new one for me. Grabbed my utility can to put gas in the snow blower
and it rattled! Figured the only thing could be was frozen water.
Temp at time was 22 degrees coming off 2 days of near zero and low
teens. I decanted all the gas into clean cans and filled the blower
from them. Then came the fun of shaking ice chunks out of the can.
Got a bunch of them, must hae been a small cup of water in the bottom
of the can.

Will be filling it again tomorrown and picking up some 'Heet" to add to
the PU, car and gas can.

I recall cleaning that can out last year (may have been the fall
before). Guess I have to watch it a bit closer.

An old timer once told me that if you have more than a teaspoon of
water in your your gas it came from the gas station and can't be
condensation. Reason being, he said, sloppy station operators fail to
check tanks for water in the bottom every day. These days ethanol is
popular as an additive, so stations are forced to take better care of
their product, as they could lose up to 10% of it if water extracts the
ethanol.
The OT also advised never buy gas from a station at the bottom of a
hill, and never gas up first thing in the morning. In the winter plowed
snow can turn into funnels over the tank fillers and the snow melt runs
right into the tanks.
Based on personal experience, IsoHeet is only a bit pricier tha Heet,
and far better for fuel systems. HTH
