I've heard that story too about there being water in the gas we buy but I
don't really believe it.
. My understanding is that the water forms in the tank of our vehicle as a
natural result of heating and cooling. "Condensation". Thats why its a good
idea to drain the water trap on your diesel tractors once in a while too.
Water is a big enough problem in a gas engine but can get pretty serious in
a diesel injection system.
