Fuel Tanks - Draw from Bottom?

Yanmar Update
I thought I would give an update on this unusual situation.

The intake was pointed down. That makes the rainwater idea less likely. On the other hand, I don't know that it was not pointed upward during the past 8 or 9 months.

I went to the boat last night. The water that is...
