Mythbusters tested the sugar thing. Busted. Sugar in the gas did nothing. They actually tested several myths invoving gasoline. The only one that really srewed up the works was bleach. Water will do no permanent damage. In fact it will do no damage till it is sucked into the carb or injectors, then it just fouls plugs and causes down time. It is however, a real bugger to get out of most tanks. I guess it could cause rust issues in the cylinder wall if left in them in large quantities. Another of the good qualities of the water is that it will usually manifest as an intermittent problem due to the mobile nature of most internal combustion engines. The water bubble will only be over the pickup in the tank for short time, then it will pick up fuel again. I learned all this the hard way on a boat I used to have that got water in the tank.
