I started flying in about 1969. I have flown several thousand hours by myself

Back in the 70's, I found water 4 or 5 times in the fuel samples taken from the
wing tanks of my C-170B based at Manassas, VA. The amount was from a few drops
to a couple of ounces. Each time I would rock the wings back and forth and
