On my trip home from North Carolina this weekend I had something happen to me during preflight that has never occured to me before. That is when I was sumping fuel I got a big blob of water in the jar. I noticed it right way and dumped the fuel and resumped all the tanks. Sure enough the left tank had water in it. So I sumped some more out and eventually got to where there was no water coming out.
The plane had been parked out all week and there were rain storms during that week. I had just replaced the gas cap seals a month and a half ago during annual. I did not notice any more water in the fuel the rest of the day.
Any ideas? Just a little seepage due to being parked out side? BTW the total amount of water in the fuel was probably only about 5 ounces. But that is more than I have ever seen.
