Default SCR 3000 Water in my fuel tank

I have had the pleasure of finding out that my starboard fuel tank has water in it. I'm sure my fuel cap has leaked. Anyone experienced this? Whats the best way to remove or rid the water???
Thanks for your help..

How much water? Can it be treated and used?

Yes I did! It was a pain in the behind! So what did I do? I got a clear glass jar and started a process of spinning the water separater off and dumping the gas into the glass jar and seeing just how much water you have. You do this until there is no water in your jar. I used the product called heat, about two small bottles, to take of my problems. Then fixed the gas cap. I did put a new water separater on when I was done. If you can find someone to do this you could get the gas tank emptied and start new.

Hope this helps

Roger
