I'm not sure I'd replace the fuel filter.  First, because they're so
damn expensive.  Second, I would think that the engine would just
burn off the moisture.  And any particles associated with the water
would/should be trapped in the porous material in the filter.  

Am I missing something?  Joel?  Anybody?
