don't understand though, suppose there wasn't a lake there? how'd they open and close the hatch without flooding the inside?

Where did it say that water wasn't in the tank? I thought it just said oil and fuel didn't leak out.
yea there was definitly water in the tank, look at the water fall coming out of the hatch. it is a deisel engine though, so as long as it wasn't in salt water, it should start right up.
