Subject:      HELP WATER IN MY TANK!!!!!
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


I screwed up royally and got a significant amount of water(+/- 2-3 LITERS)
in my tank. Of course I tried starting it till my battery almost went dead,
I replaced 2 glow plugs (#1 and #4) also tired starting with straight ATF. I
believe I siphoned off most or all of the water through the fuel lines. I
also drained the filter  and I plan on replacing it when this all over. How
do get my engine going again? Could I have done any serious damage?
TIA
