There is an additive to add to the tank that will break down any remaing water. You'll want to add that when you get the tank back in, also I would drain the fuel bowl and change the filter.

diesel kleen, or any other additive that will destroy the H2O.

rememeber to prefill the new fuel filter before installing it.
