being in Canada we experienced -30 (c) degree weather last week...my car was frozen solid even with 2 bottles of gasline antifreeze.... my battery died and we spend about a good 40 minutes trying to boost the car...it barely started..it took 40 minutes cuz the engine just wouldn't turn over...we thought the fuel in the lines were frozen...after that day the car starts funny...making this hissing sound when starting and when idling it sounds like there's water in the engine somewhere...like glub glub sound...some of my friends thought there might be water or condensation in the fuel line...

any suggestions please!!??

it doesn't hurt to use it... i know some gas stations are allowed up to 10% water to pass as "gasoline" heck, water vapor is a good "carbon-deposit cleaner"

glub-glub sound in the enigine? isn't that coolant? maybe the antifreeze/water mix isn't right...

just my guesses
