One product is called HEET. It comes in a yellow plastic bottle.
It depends on how much rainwater you’ve got the tank. If it is a lot, you might want to siphon the tank, then fill it with gas to dillute it — then add the bottle of Heet.
Store it before it goes to the sea using a rain water barrel. Tags: dry out my gas tank, rain in gas tank, rain water fuel tank

One thing I’d like to know, how the hell did you get rainwater in your gas tank to begin with?

I believe you can use some 90% isopropyl alcohol available at wal-mart or a pharmacy cheap. I’m pretty sure that’s all that HEET is. The alcohol will blend with water resulting in a lower evaporation point, where as the petroleum does not mix but forms a liquid barrier while keeping the waters evaporation point unaltered. Heet’s website says that it is methanol with corrosion inhibitors. Unless this was a regular event I don’t see why any 90%+ alcohol product wouldn’t be effective.

depending on how much water got in the tank if theres allot i would syphen it out and put fresh gas and put a little bit of methyl hydrate in it.
