Not really, as with ethanol water will remain in suspension and pass right through the system. Water can and does get into fuel supplies. Only a small amount of water will seperate out from gasoline. In time this can and does cause fuel line freeze up during the winter months.

I used to add heet to my winter fuels to eliminate freeze up. Now since I use nothing by ethanol fuels I do not worry about it.
