water in fuel

[genIIinprogress]

I don't know where else this post would fit but in the genral section. So i woke up this morning, It was the first day here up in michigan where it was really cold enought to freeze stuff, So I went out to start my truck and it just rolled over, it would not fire for nothin'. So i tried and tried, I got some gas cause i knew it was low and it was setting on a pretty good incline so i put some gas in it and it still wouldnt fire. I knew it had something to do with it being cold out because it started hard yesterday morning and it wasn't getting any warmer all day, so i threw it on the trailer and took it up to my garage. I cranked the wood stove and let it sit for a few hours. I let it thaw out real good and she fired up with the first try.
So im thinking i got some water in my fuel that froze up my lines, I dumped some HEET in it and changed my plugs cause i knew they were bad. I figured that was about all i could do and im praying it starts in the morning.

If anyone has any suggestions that would be much appreciated.

thanks guys

if your worried about water in fuel then go get yourself a bottle of 90-something percent rubbing alcohol (the smaller bottle) and pour it in your gastank. It's drygas dude!!
better to do if you have at least over half a tank
