Water in Oil Tank

[Devon8604]

Hey WB,

I was doing some maintenance to my boat and opened up the oil take to add some oil. I just so happened to have an open water bottle on the deck which i had drank down to a couple oz's. Well, like something out of a movie, I knocked the water bottle over and it splashed right into the opening of the oil tank. I estimate maybe an ounce of water at most got into the oil tank.

Is this something I need to address? Pump and dump? Or would the water just burn off?

Any advice is appreciated.

Dev water is heavier then oil so you should be able to pump into a clear mason jar and see when the color changes

Why risk it?

Why risk it?

Agreed! I ended up just pumping all the oil out, cleaning it out and putting fresh oil back in.
