Now I'm confused.  I was told by the people at the Newell factory that the fuel tank sump was there to collect water over time from the fuel tank.  They stated that draining the sump on a regular basis was a very important maintenance item and they have seen many tanks rust from the inside out in the sump area from water being present for too long.  But that doesn't make sense if the pickup hose is at the bottom of the sump!

Maybe if they get water in them and sit around for awhile, my pick up is pretty close to the bottom and I can't see it staying there long if used on a regular basis. Always buy fuel from a retailer that sells a lot of fuel. I would not fuel from a small store off the beaten path unless it is a emergency. 
I regularly buy diesel from Walmart as they are usually 10 or more cents cheaper that anywhere close. 
I always go in and buy a gift card also as that knocks a little off the price.
