So stupid - water in gas

Honestly I think it'll be fine. I'm not a mechanic or fuel expert or anything but I did save 15% by switching my car insurance to Geico...

I highly recommend towing your Z to a local shop or Nissan dealership service department that you trust and have them completely empty your gasoline tank, remove and hand clean all your fuel injectors,and fill your gasoline tank with fresh top tier 91+ octane gasoline like Chevron or Texaco with Techron. You will have a hard time warrantying your engine if your engine hydro locks from there being water inside your engine good luck. If your engine is torn down and inspected moisture/oxidation can be found. I highly recommend do not drive your Z until you get it fixed.

Well, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express. That makes me smarter than you!
