Default Re: H3 - Water in Fuel Tank

The vapor lock vent has to work both ways. THe returning fuel from the engine fuel rail will be warmer. Increasing pressure. Without the vent you would pull a vacuum when the fuel cooled off colapsing the tank.
Same thing with alltitude.

When it sat in the water the fuel would have cooled pulling a vacuum on the tank sucking in water.

Same thing happens with your rear diff. I recommend and oil change. Easy to do. Pull off the fill plug with a 3/8 wratchet. There's a drain plug underneath to drain the fluid. Again a 3/8 wratchet. Replace drain plug. fill up to fill plug.
Mine toook just over 2 quarts to fill the diff. I used Mobil 1 synthetic 75W90
