Actually, it will take a lot longer for all the water to settle to the
bottom. Tiny droplets of water setlle at an extremely slow rate, and even a small agitation will disturb them back into the fuel. The basic idea of the sump drain is not just to remove water, but to indicate that there is a problem with the fuel. Once you detect water in the sumps, it's going to take a lot longer than 5 minutes to get going.

Don't know where he got that from, but I thought I'd pass it on. |
