Garage suspects water in fuel. Have added 1 bottle of HEET and have driven 22 mi. Adding a second bottle of HEET will not help to resolve the issue. Typically if one bottle does not help to resolve the water then other action may be needed to fully remove it. Also, if there is more than 8 oz.

The vehicle will not start if the fuel is frozen from extreme cold or there is water in the fuel The vehicle will not start or may lose power and stall if the fuel gets too hot and boils off Sensors could malfunction if excessive additives in the fuel cause erratic sensor readings and cause the fuel to boil off at lower temperatures The ECM sets code P to memory and turns on the Check Engine Light So am not sure if there is water in the tank.

Iso-Heet is probably the best water remover on the market today but there are others. These products are effective up to a point. If not, they are ineffective. We recommend draining the tank completely to be on the safe side.
Set aside an afternoon and drain your gas tank completely. Gas has a lower density than water, so it stays on top. The water should drain out first. Some people would recommend waiting until you see fuel emerge.
Allow the fuel to drain for a long time, though. You want to get out every bit of water as possible. It could be removing the tank and emptying it, or siphoning out the gas.
Be careful. Gasoline is flammable. Get a new fuel filter and replace the old one. Water might have damaged the fuel filter, causing it to disintegrate or weaken, which can render the fuel filter ineffective.
More debris and dirt would be able to enter the engine, which causes further problems. Would you rather spring some cash for a new filter, or rebuild the engine? Replacing the filter is a far safer solution. Flush the fuel lines. These are meant to conduct gas, not water.
