I've never come across any either, but my experience is limited.
How do the big boys check for water, the Boeings and the Busses?


William, the big difference here, is the fact that jet fuel, kerosene and
diesel fuel all have the ability to absorb moisture right out of the air,
and to dissolve the water in the fuel with no line of separation, like
happens with gas and water.

Right off hand, I would guess that there would be a point where it could no
longer absorb it all but I don't know for sure, right or wrong.
