Water in Fuel tank(HELP)

[BMorgan2020]

I left the fuel cap off my fuel tank after fueling my L6060 tractor. It has rained a fair amount since then(1-2 inches). There was a lot of water in the Water/Fuel Separator. But I’m sure there is a lot more in the tank. Is there a way to drain all the fuel from the tank? Or what other way besides siphoning it all-out which I don’t think would get it all out anyway- could I get all the water out of the fuel tank? Thanks

If it has saddle tanks they'll have a drain in the bottom. If it's under the hood just take the line off the fuel filter and drain it out that way.

I did the same thing last fall, only with a big funnel in the tank. I tipped a 5 gallon can to put fuel in and then for some reason had to go do something else while it drained. Well I totally forgot it and it started raining hard. I think it probably rained 20 minutes before I remembered. I just took the sediment bowl off and ran a gallon out into a can. I didnt have any issues afterwards! Maybe just lucky, but water is always heavier than fuel and will go to the bottom in a few minutes.

After you drain the tank you can buy some Iso-Heat or other brand of diesel fuel dryer to run thru the next couple of tanks. What ever brand you buy make sure it is for diesel fuel and not gasoline.

They also make these water wicks to put in the tank but I have never used one. I am sure NAPA would have some on hand.
