A system for transferring fuel from a fuel tank to an engine which allows an optimum water/fuel ratio (i.e., a ratio which will permit the engine to operate substantially normally while disposing of water in the fuel tank) to be transferred to the engine. The apparatus includes a fuel pump having two inlets in fluid communication with the vehicle fuel tank. A hydrophobic filter is associated with one of the inlets and is operative to prohibit water from entering the fuel pump. The inlets are sized to achieve an optimum water/fuel ratio for delivery to an internal combustion engine. In one exemplary embodiment, an adjustable orifice may be associated with the second inlet, such that the water content of the product transferred to the engine may be regulated depending on, e.g., the operational state of the engine.
