water in the tank :(

[texas_angler_2002]

first let me thank everyone who replies . ok my problem is i took off my fuel tube on side of my motor (115 evinrude) its a white tube loks like a filter but its hallow. is there suppose to be a filter in there. ne ways..... i took it off and there was water in there so much water the gas that was in there would ignite. after i took the plugs out they had water residue on them. i was told take out all plugs and spray wd-40 in it and turn it over and lets the wd-40 take out the water. does u have another other suggestions.

Re: water in the tank

Howdy, TX-A. <br /><br />You need to add a water seperating filter in your fuel line. <br /><br />For the short term get a portable tank with fresh fuel and run the engine on that until warm, plus a few minutes to clear any water left in the system.<br /><br />Drain and dry out your main tank.<br /><br />Red sky at night. . .<br />JB
