    as oil is lighter than water & will 'float', simply syphoning it from high up in the drum using a clear hose will solve the water issue... but i reckon running it thru a decent filter, before putting it in the tank is a must..

    i'm thinking an old style CAV296 as found on all old tractors, plant, and diesel stuff from the 60's as the elements are pence..and it has a water trap.
