So, your fuel tanks were drained, vacuumed dry and inspected. Now you are still getting water in your Racor. So NEW water is getting in somehow. Here are some culprits:

1. Filler cap is leaking- bad o-ring.
2. Tank vent is letting water in, maybe due to broken plastic fitting.
3. If you have a Cummins 6BTA engine or another make with a fuel cooler, then it is leaking.
4. Filler fitting is not sealed well to deck letting rain water run down filler hose and then getting into tank due to bad hose to tank seal- long shot.
