Looking at a 2001 Yamaha 225 four stroke. Some one put water in the gas tank while parked at a motel. Electric fuel pump was replaced. Motor will run. Should I run away?

Totally agree, however, after the fuel separator gets saturated water will get through and shut the motor down. The water ruined the electric fuel pump.
