Water and oil does not mix. It’ll float on top of the tank. If a little, then you should be worried as it’ll vaporized eventually.

How does the water vapourise in an enclosed fuel tank?
Actually water does mix with fuel, unless you don't drive the car. Then water will settle at the *bottom* of the tank, not float.

Did u close back the petrol cap before he rinse it?

He suspected water got into his tank, so this means the cap was not closed?

The small amount of water as described probably gets emulsified in the petrol fuel .......and consumed/burnt in normal way.

Ppl keep telling me water won't mix with petrol/diesel.

I guess they hey haven't seen cloudy petrol/diesel.
