23' SeaCraft CC contaminated fuel

Yes, I have a water separator filter on the engine and a Rayco in-line filter as well. Both were full of water.I checked the filler cap and O ring, both of which seem perfect. No, the motor had not been sitting for a long time. I may have gotten some "bad" gas at a local marina ... I had that problem earlier in the summer.However, the coincidence of the problem happening directly after the first rainfall in nearly 2 months has me puzzled.

Could there possibly be standing water on top of the tanks causing pin holes and the water is entering that way? I know it is a strech but stranger things have happened. Let us know what you find.

I don't know if this is still possible but years ago I got a ton of water from the dock station. They had the leak and since it was almost empty I pumped my boat with mostly water.
Even though the tank was on shore it leaked and was full of dirt and water.

I had the fuel fill o-ring go out on me and cause an identical situation. Once I changed it, haven't had any prob since.
