Heresy it it, but before I go to my lynching I think I would like to try a little magic.  Next time I get the chance, I am going to POUR one full cup of water into my gas tank.  I will let it set overnight.  Then I will attempt to start the engine without draining the fuel.  If my magic works, the engine will start an run just fine after a few seconds of running the pump.  If the test fails, I will put the drain plugs back in (and eat a crow).

I never drain my fuel.  I even took out the drain plugs.

JMHO,

HERESY!! (but it does make sense - assuming you only have a little
water; i.e. not a leaky gap cap!) I think I'll still check...
