Water sinks in gasoline. Whatever size bottle you want to think about, it's heavier when it's

full of water, and lighter when it's full of gasoline.

Small aircraft, with their fuel tanks in their wings, used to have small bleeder valves in the

underside of the wing, where water was drained from the tank before flight. It was on the

bottom, because any water that condenses in the tank, or gets in there by any means, always

sinks in the gasoline and winds up at the bottom of the tank.
