It is possible to get molecular suspension in fuel and if you go high enough and/or are flying in cold enough conditions it is possible for the water to begin to build as ice in the filters.
I was on a C-130 back in 1982 that suffered an engine failure and a partial loss of power on a second due to icing in the filters following molecular suspension.
