Obviously you've never seen the damage that can be done! Of course water doesn't dissolve in gasoline, so what? What actually happens is that the sugar/water solution, much heavier than gasoline, settles in the low spots in the fuel system. In a tractor this is usually the fuel line and/or carb float bowl. The gel that forms does not allow gasoline to pass. And cleaning with hydrocarbon based cleaners like carb cleaner has zero effect. Only hot water will remove it. If you don't believe it, try it on your tractor!
