Water in the tank, more than likely .... not the problem.
When is last time you gave the car a tune up. I believe it's every 2 years.
Tune up your car will prevent many problems like this.
I would start with the air filter , if you not going to go with a full tune up
but replace these and more than likely your sputtering be gone.
1. air filter
2. spark plugs
3. fuel filter
4. distributor cap and rotor
5. spark plug wires
6. clean out carburetor or fuel injectors with an additive to gas tank.
Try these first before looking elsewhere
