Default water in gas

I have a drum of gas about 40 gal of it and dont know how to get rid of it Is there a separator I can run it through to get the water out of it?

Then I could just run it in one of the cars

The water will be on the bottom of the barrel. Just use a pick-up tube that stays approx 3" off the bottom. An inline F/W separator like a Mercrusier plumbed before the pump can't hurt but shouldn't be mandatory.
