Hi,

Not sure this make sense, water will evaporate by itself. Maybe, you can idle your car a couple of days and try starting your car. Or you can call TCM to check.

Some petrol addictives can evaporate the water.  But that depends on the amount of water in your tank

petrol is less dense than water right? if water went in, will it sink to the bottom? if it does, then will water have the chance to evaporate since the petrol is floating on top of the water?

Think you've got to send the car to have your fuel tank flushed. How did it get there in the first place?

Curious to know how the water get in and how you know ? 

[Carmodz]

my guess: pumping petrol, spilled some, quickly take the water dispenser and pour off the petrol but forgot to cap back?

my guess: Mistook a water hose for a pump and stick it into the inlet.. den someone turn it on

Call TCM for help? Better solution right?

If you need to pump petrol, you got to drive your car to the nearest station? By the time, any side effect for the fuel consumption during the journey? ??

I do not think our tank will rust so easily, there a coating I believe.
