After I remove a bunch of water from my tank, how do I go about taking care of the rest of the system?

Do I just run the boat to clear any water out of the fuel rail? Do I need to add gas drier?

Do I need to run an injector cleaner? Which would be best for this?

What else?????

Thanks,

Re: After removing water from the tank

I always pull the injectors and fuel rails and clean them. Send the injectors off to get them cleaned, tested and new filters in the end of each injector and then clean the fuel rail. If you let water sit in the steel rail, it will rust, and the rust will cause you problems. Also blow the lines out between the cool fuel and pump.
Always use new orings on everything you take apart.

This is the type of injector cleaning service I am referring to.
