∙ 14y agoIt is hard to know when you have water in your gas tank. However, that is no longer the problem that it used to be in the United States. Most of the gasoline in the United States contains alcohol. The alcohol makes the water mix with the gasoline. As water condenses in the gas tank it mixes with the gasoline and is removed in the engine exhaust.

bubbles on top of gas in tank
Have you tried using gas line antifreeze? That will help to remove some of the water in the gas. The best way to make certain all the water is out of the tank is to siphon the gas out, let the tank air out and re-fill the tank with gas from a station you know does not have water in the gas.
other than getting a bit of either water and or slug in your injectors it should be nothing should happen... get a carb/fuel injector cleaner in your gas tank fill up the tank with gas 89 octane or better and drive. I also put GAS antifreeze in at about half a tank and run it almost empty to clean my tank out before and after the winter which is when water can best get into your gas tank.
remove the fuel tank and drain the water
What will happen if water gets inside gas tank
skipping stall no start
Water is heavier than gasoline, it will pool at the lowest point of the fuel tank.
It has a compressor (like a refrig or air conditioner) which compresses a gas (freon) creating hot gas, This gas heats the hot water tank as it condenses to a liquid, The liquid then goes to the evaporator, where it boils back to a gas again, taking heat energy out of the cold water tank and cooling the water before returning to the compressor to start again. The hot water tank may have another heat source to boost the temperature higher.

Yes, water is heavier than gas.
Remove the tank from the car.
