epends on the type, but tin tanks are no kind of insurance against it.
Try
it sometime. Drain some fuel, if there's some water, drain it all out and
then shake the airplane. Pretty sure you;ll get some more.

BTW, you're tanks are more than likely aluminum. I could be wrong, but I've
never seen stainless tanks in any airplane.

Surprisingly, I can count on one hand getting water in the fuel and my
bet how it got in there is my carelessness on taking the caps off
after a rain and the residual rain underneath the lever sneaks into
the tank. But I will give what you say above a try, nothing gain,
nothing loss but the adventure.

AND YES, you are right, it's aluminum and I knew that, why stainless
steel came out of my keyboard is beyond my belief :-))
