No worries Shawn. Thanks to the EWDS, two fuel tanks, an electric fuel pump with an override switch and the recent memory of a broken O ring right before rain it really was a minor inconvenience. At this stage we KNOW the problem was water in the fuel and we KNOW how it got in there. Now it's just the mechanics of repairing it so it never happens again.
My story was here is what happened, the information at hand, the hypothesis, the confirmation and the solution. I posted it in the hope it might help others someday.
