I envisioned that it would capture any liquid coming to it, not specifically acting as a fuel / water separator. More of a trap. The misuse of a fuel rated item was just a safety consideration since it is in part of a fuel system though generally not in contact with fuel.
If the water was coming in small quantities at a time it would be trapped at least until the bowl was full. Which you could see, or have a water sensor alert wired in. Far from an ultimate solution, but for $40 it might catch cups of water.

This fuel-water separator works on principle of fuel being lighter than water (so it floats on top) and it can separate small quantities of water from (large quantities of) fuel. The problem on hand is a large quantity of water (and no fuel) entering the line. I think that if you wanted a full proof design, something working on a principle of Dorade box (with a float?) would be required.

They would capture water coming in. The more sophisticated ones have a water sensor, or a fitting for one. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1
