What happens if water gets in your lawn mower gas tank?
Remove the Water from Gas Tank: Depending on how much water got into the tank you can use a product like HEET that is sold in the automotive section of most stores that helps remove water from fuel. If there was a large amount of water the best way to remove it is to unhook the gas line where it goes into the engine and let it drain out. I would suggest putting a additive like HEET in with the gas after you do this to help get rid of any left over water. A newer additive, Dave Liles Ethanol Fuel additive is an ethanol prodcut that might be better at absobing water than an isopropyl alcohol product like HEET. The Liles Ethonal is at Lowe's and other places. Depending on your location, some States sell reformulated gas which contains up to 10% ethanol. Using an alcohol based additive will increase the alcohol content and could damage your engine. It is best to drain the tank and refill with fresh gas, preferably treated with a fuel stabilizer, such as a Briggs brand.

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.

Has Murphy express gas ever made your car skip?
NOt personally, but all it takes is a small amount of water in the fuel holding tanks at the gas station. This will be transferred into your tank...and well water doesn't burn very well. This will cause the the cylinders to misfire and make the vehicle stutter and hesitate...buy some HEET or a similar chemical from an auto parts store to help clear up the problem.

Will a lot of water in the gas tank ruin an engine?
Yes, water is considered a fuel contaminant, and can definitely damage a car's engine. Depending on how much water is in the tank there are a couple of options. If there's not too much water you can pour in a fuel additive like "Heet" or "DryGas". These products contain an alcohol that mixes with the water and allows it to burn off safely. However if there's a lot of water you may have to have the tank removed and either cleaned or replaced.
