The trap would answer the question if the water was in fact coming in the vent line. If it was, it might identify the conditions that cause it.
I could imagine water splashing in a few tablespoons at a time, but not causing an issue until enough accumulated in the tank to get picked up. That would leave the owner wondering how a gallon of water got in.

Fuel fill cap gasket o-ring 2. Fuel fill cap if plastic. It could be cracked. Dennis C.

Ideally a larger drop-out tank could be attached to the drain fitting and a fluid sensor added. In my case it seems simpler to just re-plumb the vent inside the adjacent propane locker or up a lifeline stanchion. I don't think it would out perform a centerline vent loop either.
