I used to add some Heet to may gas tank every fall just in case. One bottle to 15 - 20 gallons.
With the price of gas being high I was filling up every other month in Missouri and not driving
This week I after the rain and freezing rain I drove the truck 15 minutes, shut down maybe 10 minutes. Restarted and drove a couple miles in town and trouble. After setting 2 hours drove 2 blocks no trouble, after setting 45 minutes restarted and made almost 2 blocks so I stopped and bought 5 bottles of Heet ($7.50) and a new gas filter. I drove home sickly and changed the filter the next morning (after the water quit dripping).
I don't know if the filter passes water of not but a test run was good for the first quarter mile then trouble again.
Today I drove to town again and put in $4 of E85 Gas ($1.85 Gallon) on top of about 17 gallon, it seems to running some better.
The way I figure it. I now have increased the alcohol in the gas from 10% + Heet to 18% + Heet.
I think the E85 for this water removal might be great.
The truck is a 1995 F350 with 5.4L engine and manual transmission.
