Fuel issues in Georgia
Just saw on GMA Georgia gasoline tainted by rainwater from Irma. Does anybody have any local knowledge. We leave for Georgia Oct 1.

Gasoline doesn't mix with water. Water floats on gasoline. Water is also easily detected in an underground tank. Your chances of getting water are pretty remote from any brand name operation. And if you did, it would be all water not mixed.
Oh boy. :R
#1. Water is heaver than gasoline, so it sinks.
#2. Gasoline now days has up to 10% alkie in it. The alkie will make the water mix with the gasoline. That's why in the old days if you had water in your gas you would buy a bottle of heat and pour it in the tank and all your water troubles would go away.
OP if there is any great amount of water in any gas station it would get pumped into the cars and you would have a line of cars conked out a block away from the station. I think you would know if this happened.
Enjoy your vacation! :)
