WHAT DID I DO????
I am so sick to my stomach over this one. I am going to paint the gas caps red tomorrow and the water fill blue. But that doesn't fix this! Suggestions??

Re: WHAT DID I DO????
I hate to say it, but if you don't completely empty the tank, and have some spare fuel filters for the grief you are going to experience (you wont get all the water out), It will only be worse and more frustrating.
Keep in mind, if you would have tried to run the engine, it would have been much worse, a bit of silver lining...
Best of luck to you.

Re: WHAT DID I DO????
You're dealing with fuel so be careful. Don't be pumping it into a container on board, pump it into a container off the boat. Use a pump approved for fuel, and ventilate.
It could have been worse, you could have done what one guy did and put fuel in the water tank, didn't realize it until he turned on the water. You can't get rid of that from the lines or any hardware. He had to replace ALL the lines, fixtures, tank, water heater, etc. Now THAT'S bad!

I have thought it may not be a bad thing to have done as a maintenance item every couple years anyway. Haven't seen anyone up here that does this though.
