   Yes, this works very well if you have small amounts of water in the gas, not   
   so well if you have a whole lot of water in the gas.   
      
   These days it's superfluous, though, since we have ethanol in the gasoline   
   already and this will get water into solution.  Unfortunately the original   
   poster probably has gasohol that is already saturated with water, so the   
   best thing to do is pump as much out as possible and then refill with clean   
   gasoline, and hope the ethanol in the clean gasoline gets as much as possible   
   of the water into solution.
