What do you do if your gas pocket freezes up and water fills to the top?!!!

I was washin my car at the quarter wash in 15F weather and I decide to open the gas cap so it won't freeze shut and won't be able to get gas. I's washin and notice that water has filled the entire compartment up to the top!!! The drain tube must have froze or been froze not allowing the water to drain. I'm worried I got a sh*t load of water in my tank now. Any thoughts now?

As long as you don't open the gas cap, you're fine

use paper towels or a sponge to absorb that water before the next gas fillup

Use a turkey baster and remove the water.

Take your finger and wiggle the rubber bladder, oft times it will start to drain.

the drain is towards the fender.
