It is hard to know when you have water in your gas tank. However, that is no longer the problem that it used to be in the United States. Most of the gasoline in the United States contains alcohol. The alcohol makes the water mix with the gasoline. As water condenses in the gas tank it mixes with the gasoline and is removed in the engine exhaust.

Have you tried using gas line antifreeze? That will help to remove some of the water in the gas. The best way to make certain all the water is out of the tank is to siphon the gas out, let the tank air out and re-fill the tank with gas from a station you know does not have water in the gas.


What happens if you ran out of gas in a 1989 Ford Tempo?

other than getting a bit of either water and or slug in your injectors it should be nothing should happen... get a carb/fuel injector cleaner in your gas tank fill up the tank with gas 89 octane or better and drive.

How does a cold water dispenser work?

It has a compressor (like a refrig or air conditioner) which compresses a gas (freon) creating hot gas, This gas heats the hot water tank as it condenses to a liquid, The liquid then goes to the evaporator, where it boils back to a gas again, taking heat energy out of the cold water tank and cooling the water before returning to the compressor to start again. The hot water tank may have another heat source to boost the temperature higher.
