A C210 I fly had water delivered into the tanks during a fuelling one time. It took the mechanics about 3 weeks of jacking the aeroplane up first on one side then on the other to move the water around sufficiently to finally get rid of all of it. That was quite an eye opener for me. I've experienced large amounts of water draining from a Lance after it sat out all day in the rain, and assumed I'd got all the water after 3 or 4 cups emptied out. I guess every plane and every situation is different.
