There is a product called DriGas or some such available at parts houses.
It is an alcohol and will take up small amounts of water into solution in the gas
so as to run it out with the fuel without problems if the amount is small enough.
Might be worth a try in your case.
One of our folks up in Maine had a problem in very cold weather and found
there was about a 5 pound chunk of ice in a 240 gas tank. It rarely got
warm enough to thaw so it was a pretty cryptic problem. She didn't have
any heat in her shop either - it was her son's car.
