water in my gas tank..


since oil is lighter than water, all the water will sink to the bottom
of your gas tank

just find the lowest spot on your gas tank and drill a few small
holes... this will drain all the water off.

if you don't have a drill.. get a hammer and a big steel nail.. just
hit it real good it will finally pop through... make about 6 holes..

problem solved

to plug the holes up.. just stick the nails back in the holes.. they
will hold


Thats a great idea, but I have an easier solution. Drive the car as
fast as it will go. When you see a deep ditch next to the road,
suddenly turn the wheel toward that ditch. With any luck the car will
roll over onto its roof. All gas will drain out after a few hours, or
sooner if you remove the gas cap. Then call a wrecker to put the car
back on it's tires and refill the tank with fresh gas. Problem
solved.
