I filled my gas tank right befor I got home, the next morning the truck would not start. After checking to make sure there wasn't problems with spark, I thought to change my fuel filter, and noticed the fuel that poured into a pail had water in it.
I now have the bad fuel out, and still having problems getting it to start. Could the spark plugs be gummed up with a water mixed gas?
