water in fuel help

someone blessed my 1992 f-150n 4.9 with water in my fuel tank. got out what i could, all but maybe a gallon. put three bottles of dry gas and ten gallons of new gas. new plugs and she still doesnt want to fire. is there another product i can use to get the rest out? any help please.

suppose you could try a heavy dose if IsoHeet...or is that what you meant by "dry gas"? You sure it was all water added, not a sugar 'solution'? May want to change the fuel filter too just to be safe (maybe 2 times...once before and once after awhile of running)

does it start with starting spray?

water in tank usually just makes it run bad but it will still run.

yeah it runs on starting spray. the plugs are wet, but water is always at the bottom of a gas tank. i changed the filter and i also have 60psi to the rail. sometimes it fires. spark is great, maybe it was sugar water

remove fuel filter, drain tank, replace filter, replace fuel.

no easy answer.
