T&T: Design Details, the Little Things (was Water in fuel)

I can't imagine putting water in the fuel tanks, or vice versa, on a Monk 
36. That wasn't meant to be a self-serving statement, it was a compliment to 
the Monk 36 design. Each week it seemed like I found another sensible design 
detail about the Monk.

For instance on the Monk, and I'm sure other designs, the water fill is at 
the stern, the diesel fills are amidships. If you got a water hose in your 
hand, you go to the back of the boat. If you got a diesel hose, you better 
be at its middle.
