I have a 5series bmw.
If the fluid was completely empty, you may still have air in the system. Whining is not good. It means low fluid and could burn out the power steering pump in short order. Turn off the car, Add fluid (DON'T OVER FILL), start the car, turn the wheel a LITTLE bit right and left a couple times to get the air out. Shut off the car, recheck fluid, add and repeat until full. If you still have the whining and no Power Steering, you are FOOKED...

How to get water out of a gas tank
If it is allot of water you will need to pull the tank, if the water is muddy you will need to pull the tank. If it is just a little water you can pump it out by using the in tank electric fuel pump by jumping the fuel pump relay and powering up the pump all the time. If the water has been in the tank very long you may have much more serious problems with parts like injectors being ruined from water deposits and rust. In some cases you can absorb the water by adding a pint of denatured alcohol to the tank, it is available from any hardware store.
