Oh don't do it often, but once or twice a year run down to single digits with a fuel can in the trunk. The only way to know if the siphon is working. That said less than an hour your can pull the left side sending unit to verify the seals are good if they are still in good shape you could drill a couple small holes an put some stainless screws to prevent the o-ring from popping out. I will show that the next time I have the siphon side out.
I can't speak for diesel but with gas in most of America, one of the few few few benefits of polluted gas (E10) for non corn farmers is that the alcohol absorbs the water and removes it.

The x5 fuel system circulates the fuel so fast that no fuel it all gets left behind it's totally mixed homogeneous. If there are any impurities they will get sucked away and into the filter. Due to the rapid mixing I'm sure that any water will also get hold in slowly a little bit at a time
