Water in tank? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well I was trying to get the truck running again tonight and I borrowed a carb from a friend. When I went to remove it, I noticed water in the intake. So when I emptied the carb, there was as much water in it as gas. So there is water in my tank.

I put a quart of Methyl Hydrate in it tonight and will leave it sit till tomorrow. Is there any other suggestion other than dropping the tank? If I drop the tank I might as well change the sending unit too since my gas gauge doesn't work.

I just want to get it running to I can get it "certified" for the road and put plates on it.

OH BTW I have about 5 gallons of gas in there right now, maybe a bit more.
