Re: water in gas tank
More comfortable to have a warning in a dashboard, I don't have that for my diesels so i need to open the hatch and climb in to drain the separators.

Re: water in gas tank
You don't want to see my racor's at the moment: one lump of bacteria-pulp up to half the glass.... don't dare to push power and thus flow...
I plan to add a Racor so the flow will be: tank - 10 micron racor - 2 micron racor - engine's filter - injector.
Should the 10 micron not get dirty any more ( I will clean the tank of course) than it was not a necessary thing to add but when not it will save the finer filter for clogging up.
With two I might get to adding a water sensor like you mention. A heater is pointless: when it's that cold I will not be going anywhere anyway (my engines are even a variant without pre-heaters (glow things, what's that in english)
However interesting and exciting to get to the job of improving all, at the moment I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the boat will come out of the winter weeks (sudden snow and frost here) afloat and engine(s) startable. The plas was to get her inside in November.... bit of delay and got a surprise pack of snow and -10 C out of the blue.
I did emergency winterize but also the power fell out at the marina (my backup was a small heater) and I fear a water-lock due to the quick anti-freeze procedure I could have done better.
