    I would put a bottle of “Dry Gas” or similar gas line treatment that removes water, into the tank immediately. The alcohol in the treatment removes the water from the gas tank. If you experience sputtering, or poor performance after the treatment, I would have the tank flushed at your mechanic. Now if it's oil in your tank, that's a whole other ball game. I would see your local mechanic right away!

    Keeping a fire extinguisher handy, disconnect the fuel line from the fuel filter, attach a suitable hose, turn the ignition to ON, and pump the gas tank dry into several gas cans.
