Do you mean that the container with the contaminated fuel was stored outdoors in the container that you linked to?
If yes, then a couple things come to mind:
Did you confirm that the container was watertight?
Is it possible that the relatively small size of water molecules meant that they could sneak past mechanisms designed to hold back large hydrocarbons?
Yes. I put 5gal gas (plus the recommended small amount of STA-BIL) into the linked container, and stored it outdoors, yes.
1: I didn’t. It’s possible I didn’t close it correctly? This seems like the most likely possibility.
2: Modern gas cans are vapor-tight so it seems to me they should be keeping water out.
