Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems are provided for operating a vehicle including an engine and a fuel system. In one embodiment, a water drainage system for a fuel system comprises a fuel tank, a fuel-water separator, a separator water sensor, a drain valve, a purge tank, a purge tank water sensor, and a purge port. The fuel tank is in fluid communication with the fuel-water separator which is in fluid communication with the fuel-water separator which is in fluid communication with the drain valve which is in fluid communication with the purge tank. The purge tank is enclosed within and in fluid communication with the fuel tank. The separator water sensor may be operably disposed in the fuel-water separator and the purge tank water sensor may be operably coupled to the purge tank. The purge port is in fluid communication with the purge tank.
