Hi! Guys,
Further to my message below I should also tell you that I also do an annual
wipe out through the large oval hole in the middle of the tank top which
contains the fuel level sender where I can get my arm through to wipe both
sides of the tank bottoms.
Sorry I omitted this basic detail.

Hi! Raimo/all
You make an interesting statement with regards to switching to the reserve
tank and got a clean filter to start up with , however I think you should
remember that on a much used aircraft the filling system always delivers
"the new shit " into the reserve side of the saddle tank and with the best
will in the world it is likely to always store water contamination in a
greater proportion than that on the main delivery side, so don't expect that
the reserve switch will always be your salvation! The water drain valves
need to be often tested on both sides . I did away with the standard glass
Europa issue filters and use TWO mini Andair gascolator filters one for each
saddle tank side.
After an overnight stay in pouring rain I took about half a litre of water
from the reserve drain valve which I believe went into the tank through the
locking fuel cap so I try to tape up the entire filler cap when in rain .
This incident was at Zelam See (?and I don't think it was from their refuel
facility but who knows?
Best regards
