Having my wing tanks made from pvc and having drains in the bottom end at  
the root leaves very little room for water to enter hide.  I believe I can  get 
any wing tank water out through them.  The main tant is tapered so that  the 
outlet is at the bottom even when on the ramp.  My only dissadvantage  is that 
I can only check the gascolator (mounted on firewall) when the cowl is  off.  
As a norm I always fill the wing tanks and then pump to the header so  that I 
can always check for water.  Like I mentioned before the only time I  had 
water was after flying in rain.  That time I had the cowl of soon  afterwards 
and 
got a tablespoon or so of water out of the gascolator.  It  hasnt happened 
since.  I also use a funnel with a water screen in it when I  fuel.  It keep 
debris and water out.
