I don't test for water in my fuel tank. I put in a bottle of dry gas and it's good to go. If you think someone may have purposely dumped water down your fill neck, you're going to have to syphon it back out and refill with fresh fuel. Don't forget to add some dry gas.
ly that means u purchased gas with water in it the water is now in your fuel tank a fuel filter will not remove water. you can buy an additive to put in your fuel tank that will take the water out or you can drain your fuel tank
remove the fuel tank and drain the water
Water in fuel tank, dirt/rust in fuel tank, algae in fuel tank, plugged/dirty fuel filter, dirty fuel injectors,
If there is a significant amount of water in the fuel tank, then there will be a warning light.
The most effective way is to drain the fuel tank completely and then refill it with diesel fuel, add a bottle of methelated spirits to the fuel tank to ensure the water is no longer there, the metho breaks down the water particles and allows them to be burnt with the diesel, also change your fuel filter, as it can hold water, also the tank can become rusted /corroded due to the water being inside,
Assuming that there is a fuel filter in the fuel delivery system, it depends on how much water is in the tank, as well as where and how the fuel pickup tube is situated. Water will completely plug up a fuel filter and it takes surprisingly little water to do so (as little as a few mLs), but if the fuel pickup is not taking from the very bottom of the tank, a pretty significant amount of water would need to be in the tank to allow water to enter the fuel system.
If you are getting water in the fuel filter, it is coming from your fuel tank. You will need to remove and clean the tank.

All you can do is drop the tank and remove the water then clean fuel lines, fuel filter and carburettor ( if fitted ) Any water in the fuel will affect the running of the vehicle.
Turn the ignition on and see if you hear a humming coming from the pump. If it is inside the fuel tank, you can hear it from the back seat.
You can test the fuel pump by touching the positive wire on the positive post of the battery. You will need to ground the ground wire.
No. Drain the fuel tank and add a product such as Heet that will remove the left over moisture. If there is just a small amount of water, fill the tank with fresh fuel and add Heet.
