my airplane under a shelter within a mile of Mobile Bay for five years.
I never top up the tanks after a flight. In that time, I don't recall
ever sumping a drop of water out of any of the drains.

That doesn't mean there is no water in your C-172RG's fuel system.
Are there rubber bladders in its fuel tanks?

As in the accident to which I included a link earlier in this message
thread, an uncoordinated bank on approach could be enough to cause
water trapped by the tanks folds to reach the carburetor (if so
equipped) at an altitude insufficient to facilitate a recovery.
