the only way to tell for water is smell and weight (out on the jet, at least).

Not true as I replied above.
To confirm that the fuel you take is water free when sumping a truck prior to fueling an aircraft put a little red food dye in the fuel in a white plastic bucket and swirl it around once or twice and then let it settle. If you have water the food dye will mix only with the water and instantly color it red. It will look like little red beads to long red slugs on the bottom dependent on how much water there is. Don't get carried away with the food dye as less than a half of a teaspoon full will be enough for a 20 gallon tank.
