I would have a little chat with BP about that. Maybe they'll give you free gas for your troubles

Glad you got it running. I was going to tell you to try and start the truck with your foot completely to the floor on the gas (if you have a frozen line that isn't too bad that will often clear it). I'd definately throw alot of dry gas in there to clear out any remaining water in the tank. You might get worse gas mileage, but water, winter and fuel delivery systems don't mix well. I would also give that station hell for selling gas like that, but I'm not sure a free fillup would be worth the hassle.

It's an additive that has isopropal alcohol in it that absorbs the water.
Heet is a brand of dry gas....

Gonna head to the BP station today and speak with the manager...but we all know where that's gonna go........
