Water in fuel..need advice

I've got a friend with an '08 that he bought new with no bed for his business which got some water into the tank almost a year ago and has been just sitting after some frustrating trips to the dealership. They removed and cleaned the tank and fuel filter but told him it was only running on 3 cylinders so he took it home and parked it frustrated. I'm hoping we can help him get this "new" truck back on the road and making money. I'm wondering if we can crack open the injector lines and flush the system or perhaps before the injector pump/s?
I'm a Gen 2 guy so this is new territory for me. Thanks in advance!
