Warning: I stopped skipping fuel filter water checks.

Catching water early avoided expensive injector damage.

Did the water come from bad fuel or just normal condensation building up over time? Figuring out which one changes how you prevent it, and maybe who pays for a fix if it's a station's bad gas.

My uncle's F-250 had the same scare last winter. He blamed the station, but his tank was half empty for months. That's a recipe for condensation, not bad gas. Most times it's just air in the tank getting cold and wet. You fix that by keeping the tank full, especially in damp weather. Chasing bad fuel might miss the real issue.
