Default How to tell you have water in your gas

I've been catching the news, the central US area is really being
pounded by some nasty snow storms. Time to stock up on Heet, snow
brushes, etc. Gonna need em.

First I've heard of frozen water in a gascan, though it does make
sense. At least it's not liquid water pouring into your snow blower so
it can settle in the carb bowl, and kill the machine.

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.
