I have 1990 Jaguar XJ6. Water got into fuel tank due to missing cap. Car briefly ran swhile puttering Now it won't start. I pu contsiner of dry gas in. It did not help.

How can I get the contaminated fuel out of the tank.? I tried pushing a plastic siphon tube down the fuel pipe but it won't go down to where the fuel is. I've got 10 gallons of messed up fuel in the tank

Remove petrol feed pipe to engine attach lengh of suitable hose into container turn on ignition and pump out make sure you have good charge in battery or attach charger first be aware you don't want spares or naked lights around fuel
