Type your answer here... Yes water in the gas tank would prevent a car from starting depending on the quantity of water/gas..............OK now for the maybe bad news or ridiculously bad news if your car has been sitting sometimes water can form in the oil that is why it is milky unfortunatley its more than likely a blown head gasket or worse from you description of the problem its hard to tell. I would have a mechanic look at it and hope that its been in a barn for 9 months and that's the problem but more than likely youll need to pull the heads and change the gasket and perhaps rebuild the head. Good Luck

Car will not start is it the starter or electrical?
if the motor cranks when you turn the key it is not the starter because in order for the engine to crank the starter must be turning the motor. it could be electrical or fuel related or sensor related, ect. depending on the model and year you could check for fault codes ie:OBD 1 or OBD 2
91 camaro rs starts fine when the car is cold After the car warms up shut it off then try to start it nothing put new plugs and a coil but no help Could it be the fuel pump?
there is a control module under your dist cap try that they seem to have problems with that I don't think it's the fuel pump. If you try to jump-start the car and it starts fine then it's definitely not the pump. case 1: If you turn the key and nothing happens (the starter doesn't crank the engine), and after a few minutes (up to about 30) it cranks without effort, then it may be a faulty starter solenoid. It's located on top of the starter, very close to the exhaust manifold and thus getting lots of heat. Change the solenoid or get a remote solenoid and locate it in a colder place. case 2: If you turn the key and nothing happens or the starter cranks the engine with great effort, and after cooling down it cranks at normal speeds, it may be a worn starter. Rebuild the starter.
Can a bad 02 sensor prevent a 2001 ford escape from starting?
No. It should start. It may run poorly and lack performance but it will start. If you have a no-start condition, (starter cranks over engine but engine doesn't start) check for spark, fuel and compression. You are missing one of these.

Why does your 94 Mazda Protege not start It was starting with no problem a couple of days ago Now for some reason it does not you found that it ran out of gas due to a broken gas gauge and you put gas?
There are two main types of no-starting conditions. Cranks but won't start, and no cranks no start. For a no crank no start condition it is best to suspect a problem with the starter circuit. For a cranks but won't start you have to remember that an engine requires the things to run gas, air, and spark. So what type of condition do you have?

Why will your car partially start and not turnover?
When you turn the key in your car, the key turns the starter motor, which inturn cranks the flywheel of your motor. Once firing is accomplished the starter is released, as you release the key. If your motor, just cranks and not start, you may have jumped your timing and this will have to be restored by a mechanic, as the timing belt needs changing.
2006 Chevrolet Colorado cranks but won't start some times?
Have you checked the air filter? Fresh Gas? Battery amps?Does the starter spin and not engage? If so it is your starter solenoid.
