Default Stupid question: water in fuel

How would water sparators work with an 'enormous' quantity of water in

Try adding alcohol to absorb the water.



I wouldn't fly with you.



Drain it or ground run it.


That would be the prudent way of doing it. What works for water-in-fuel
in a car is fine for cars.. the engine stops, you roll to the side of
the road and call the tow truck. I don't know how the alcohol would
affect the seals and whatnot in the tanks/lines/pumps/carb so I'd be
hesitant to put anything not specifically approved for use in the plane
into the tanks.
