The tank should be drained and cleaned. The fuel filter needs to be changed, and the injectors might have to be cleaned.

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.

What happens if you put antifreeze in a gas tank?
The first, and most likely result will be that the engine won't run any farther than the fuel in the lines will carry it, antifreeze will not burn so once it hits the injectors the engine will stop. In the tank it will pool at the bottom as it is denser than the fuel and will be the only thing the fuel pump will pick up. The problem is that you will then need to clean the entire fuel system. If you did not start the car, you need to remove the tank and drain everything out of it. Wash it inside with gas. Reinstall the tank, add couple bottles of dry gas, fill up the tank. Start the car. You might have to use dry gas more than once, if there is any moisture trapped within the tank (drying will not work because antifreeze takes forever to evaporate).
