  This may depend on how much water is actually in your fuel tank. Very small amounts could probably be managed with "fuel-dryer" additives, which combine with the water in your fuel and simply run it through the engine. If the water problem is serious, you should have a competent mechanic resolve the problem. This may include removal of the fuel, fuel storage tank from the vehicle, cleaning it, replacing the fuel filters, re-installing the tank, and filling with fresh, clean fuel.
