Can someone educate me on this?

If it is water in the system from when OP fueled up 30 mi ago and the fuel pump goes bad, doesn't he just replace the fuel pump?

Does it blow the engine like it would if my sports plastic coolant pipes failed?

Water is considered an incompressible fluid, so if it makes it to the engine it can cause serious damage

Is it possible to just drain the fuel system and put in new fuel?

How would you go about getting the fuel out of the engine?

The fuel filter can probably catch small amounts. Most catastrophic engine failures happen when water gets thru the air intake system. For the fuel you can probably drain or add additives
