Water in gas: any experience?

[Tony Hoffman]

I'd be suspect of the filter and injectors at a minimum. Getting the water
out is fairly easy, though. Pull the line that feeds the rail in front, put
a hose on it. Put it into a bucket or container, bridge the pump and run it
till the tank is dry. Pull the sender/pump cover off the tank (it's located
under the cover with three screws, just behind the RR passenger compartment
seat). Soak up the rest out of the bottom with some rags or paper towels,
put it back together. Put some sort of "drying agent" in the tank, fill it
up, good to go. I'd do the filter either way, but the injectors also if
it's been sitting for a while with the water in them.
