Water in gas tank...

I was filling up last night and cleaned my rear windshield at the station while it was filling. The pump didn't have the rubber flap that goes over the fuel line to prevent splashback. Anyways, as I was squeegeeing off the water, some of it trailed into the gas tank...it's probably only a little bit though.

Should I expect any problems? It's running fine now on a full tank.

gsrblack,
My company makes a product that will remove the moisture from you tank. It actually emulsifies the water, allowing it to safely burn with the fuel. You can read about it at http://www.proteclubricants.com/automotive/sgc.html.

Email me if you have any questions.

the little bit that gets sucked into the air/fuel mixture will just evaporate.

Thanks guys, I'll just run my car normal until I feel some sort of problem come up. If so, then I'll use some of the dry gas stuff to evaporate it.
