[bmw] water in gas all BMWs

[bmrfamly <bmrfamly@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gentlemen
   Water always condenses within the gas tank. Airspace + cool walls = 
condensate.
    It collects in the fuel filter.  If the filter freezes, the engine 
can be hard to start, but flowing fuel will "punch a hole" thru the 
ice most times.
   A filter change is the cheapest/easiest place to start.  Gas 
additives just carry the water forward from the filter to the 
injectors.
   If you suspect water, change the filter, then use an additive.
