Okay first of all you have to drain your gas tank there can't be no water in there then your spark plugs are probably need to be clean because they have water on them and they're not going to fire. The most important is getting your gas tank clean and your spark plugs clean so they don't have any water on them do you have a throttle body or do you have a carburetor

And if you don't think you're going to get all the water out of your gas tank I mean that's the best way to do it is to get it all out but if you can't you have an inline filter that is probably swollen up or plugged up you're going to have to change it but when you go to change it after you take it off you're going to have to get it air pressure hose and blow air into your gas tank out that line so all the water goes out of that line both directions at least by getting gallons what's it fires up it'll run a little bit rough but it will burn that water right into steam and make condensation so you need a new gas filter need to blow all the water out of your lines and out of your tank and you should clean the spark plugs you might get away with not having to clean them if you can go all the water out of the lines and the gas tank

You have to be really careful if you do that nowadays nine out of ten auto mechanic shops see a girl coming and they take advantage do you know anybody with the code reader if you could get a code reader it will tell you what's wrong with it are give you a general idea but I guarantee it if your spark plugs are wet it's not going to start how much water got into the gas tank do you think

Have you had all of the water removed from your system?

You need to let a real mechanic take care of this.

You need to flush your tank, fuel lines, replace fuel filter.

also petrol or diesel?

You need to drain the gas tank, so taking it to a mechanic is probably the best idea.

You got water in your gas tank

[Asker]

i know so what’s the problem

[Gwenhwyfar]

I just told you. You can’t get water in your gas tank or your car will seize.

[Gwenhwyfar]

Good idea. They will need to drain your gas tank to get the water out.
