I never found a problem but part of the pre-flight inspection on light 
planes was pulling a sample from a drain cock to make sure your Cessna 
wasn't flying on water.

I had a '82 Yamaha Seca that had a graceful looking tank. The problem was 
all four corners were low spots that accumulated water and would 
eventually rust out.
