Free water at the bottom of the tanks......nah dont think so......jet pumps in most tanks keep the fuel and water mixed......if I remember water comes out of fuel at 1 ft per hour when the fuel is not being mixed by the jet pumps ie when the aircraft is on the ground which is why we do water drain checks after the aircraft has been on the ground for a considerable amount of time.
