Not quite sure why. Need to poke around a little. Can't see that sitting in the water and mud for an hour would have done much although the gas tank would have been 90% submerged. The only thing I can think of is that I spent quite a bit of time with the power washer around the gas tank spraying off the muck. Of course I did also fill up at a po- dunk gas station in the middle of no where so maybe they had bad gas. All I know is that everything I did with my truck seemed to progressively help out my problem. New-used MAF sensor, new OEM plugs, new fuel filter, still got codes but ran better still stumbled and had codes... put fuel conditioner, good to go! |

First off, there should be a drain plug on the tank. Any water will be at the bottom and come out first.
The best and cheapest way to get rid of the water is to add some methylated spirits into the tank. Ian |

There are no fuel tank drain plugs in US production Rovers.
What won't just leak in while doing a water crossing or being washed, these tanks are presurized while being driven and if there were an opening you would have a code. Mike |
