|    water in gas tank    |

      XPost: alt.home.repair       From: bill@anarchists.org              My kid dumped a jug of water into the gas tank thinking it was gas.              I disconnected the fuel filler hose and used the opening on the tank to       pump everything out where the last gallon was 90% water & about 10% gas.              Since I've never done this before, what's a good way to proceed?       Should I replace the fuel filter? What does water do to a fuel filter?              Now that the fuel tank is completely dry, should I run the engine with the       water that must still be in the lines?              Should I run only one gallon at first - and then when empty, add the rest       of the 18 gallons?              How do you approach this situation after pumping the fuel tank dry?              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
