??????????My gas tank is mounted under my truck and went through a massive flooded area and my machine is sputtering out. I can only think that I got water in the fuel

Let it dry out for a day... could be something electrical. Put a can of Heet in the fuel tank to remove the water from the fuel line.

Replace fuel filter it will have some of the water in it or anything else that can restrict flow.

A bottle of dry gas will do it, assuming you can get one, (didn't see where your from)up here in the NE we will have that issue several times over the winter, from severe cold temps/thaw and massive ice build up, it will probably take a day to work it out of the system.

Replace the fuel filter first, then add the gas dryer at the same time. There might be some contaminants in the water

Run the Heet for at least 7 days.It will not hurt anything...

I do a fuel injector daily plus Iso dry.similar to heet...

It is my habit to go to Big lots after working out,so...

I get my usual and out the door...

Never a problem with the engine,my 2 cents...
