I completely disagree with adding the Tee and/or raising the fuel line. Water could accumulate in a fuel tank where there is a large volume of stagnant fuel and/or air (condensation). However, I do not see how water will accumulate in a fuel line where the fuel is usually flowing and contains no air. Especially for such a short section of fuel line as this. If this was the case, you would need a tee for "each" section of "low" fuel line. It just isn't going to happen. It's going to get pumped through the line quicker than it can accumulate.
I slug of water may get picked up from the tank (assuming it wasn't completely sumped prior to engine start) and pumped through the lines. Some of that water may get trapped in the gascolator. But it also might just get pumped through. Are you using a fuel return type system or purge valve?
Let us know how your final inspection goes. I'm not too far behind you.
