mister c - dont know if my K5 has tank drain tube, but happy to check. looking into it. will drain tank again as suggested, but might not be a few days, so will get back to you with results.
This hole has a pipe that goes inside your tank & should exit at the rear. They sometimes get blocked, or the rubber drain hose that's attached to it gets crimped which then allows water to build up around the filler, then drops into the fuel tank. I'm not saying that's the issue, but could be worth investigating.IMG_20240109_062827.jpg
