do they buy cheapo gas? water is very common in crappy gas station gas (and
even some good ones).. run a few bottles of gas line antifreeze through and
see if that helps

keep the gas tank as full as you can in cold weather (don't run down to
empty) as water also condenses in the gas tank during temperature
fluctuations (from moisture in the air.. keep the air out, keeps the
moisture out)
