I don't know about the intake stuff.  But water in gas could foul a plug
cuasing a need to replace since it is the spark from the plug that  cuases
combustion of the fuel.

Subject: NVC question about general fuel system parts

> Hi All, I work for a convenience store corporate office, one of stores had
a problem with a customer complaining that there was water in the gas and
now they want us to pay their car bills. There are a few things that aren't
adding up, and I figured some of you guys might be able to confirm or
disapprove my theorys.......

that upon finding contaminated fuel they drained fuel system, replaced the
fuel filter, spark plugs, added dry gas, new fuel.......Now if I'm not
mistaken, spark plugs aren't a fuel system problem correct?

intake gasket is a fuel system componant , again I could be wrong.
