Water in Fuel Tank

[FlytheCoop]

I have done exactly what your are talking about, the fuel pickup tube is usually very low in the tank anyway. I filled fuel cans and put into my truck (5 gallon can with 1/2 tank of gas) eventually I had the tank almost dry, I filled several 6 gallon boat tnaks and ran the boat till it was empty. I used the 6 gallon tanks to come back to the dock. I removed the fuel sender and stuck a hose connected to the electric fuel pump to get the last couple of gallons out. I used a water separating filter the whole time and pulled some nasty stuff out of the tank.
