I understand that the problem (feature?) of getting highly inaccurate
readings from a gasoline capacitance fuel probe that is submerged into a gas
tank with a puddle of water in it is not unique to home-designed systems.
This is characteristic of all of them due to the capacitance difference
between gas and water.
I wouldn't bother incorporating electronic features to remove that
characteristic. Remove the water instead with your fuel drain.
I might actually consider this a "feature", since you might be able to detect
water in the tank that way. However, I suspect you'd have rough-running (or
non-running) engine problems long before there's a big enough puddle to
engage the probe.
