If the water is trapped by an irregular surface at the bottom of the
fuel tank thus preventing it from reaching the sump, it will not be
drained; it will be retained within the tank.

It would take a lot of such cycles before enough water would be in the
tank to matter.

While the engine may be able to continue running after ingesting some
water, with an ambient temperature low enough, it wouldn't get fuel if
water in the fuel lines froze. What volume of water is enough to
cause such a frozen plug?
