1. Stop driving the vehicle immediately. Driving with water in the gas tank can cause major engine damage.
2. Call a tow truck to have the vehicle taken to a mechanic. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle yourself, as this could be dangerous.
3. Let the mechanic know that there may be water in the gas tank. The mechanic will be able to drain the water and replace the gas with new fuel.
Here are some tips for preventing water from getting into your gas tank:
1. Always keep the gas tank full. This will help to prevent condensation from forming inside the tank.
2. Avoid getting water in the gas tank when fueling up. If you spill any gas on the ground, be sure to clean it up immediately.
3. If you are driving in a storm, try to avoid driving through puddles. Water can splash up into the gas tank through the filler neck.
4. If you notice that the gas tank is leaking, get it repaired immediately. A leaky gas tank can allow water to enter the tank.
