Depending how much? A little maybe just dry gas A lot - drain tank change fuel filter
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,
What will happen if water gets inside gas tank
A fuel pump siphons the fuel through hoses.
Most times with fuel injection it is in the tank and gets changed with the fuel pump.
The fuel gauge is located in cars. It is used to tell how much fuel is left in the tank. When this gets low the tank will need filling up with more fuel.
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.
The only vehicle that I have ever owned that had a drain plug in the fuel tank was a 1982 Volvo 244GL ( It came in handy when I got a bad load of gas )
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.
