Default Full fuel tanks for the winter

Well i had a masthead light which was sealed with rubber grommets, the top
was plastic and screwed from the base upwards with a long stainless screw,
therefore holding it down from the inside. About a year after fitting the
bulb blew so after climbing the mast i found to my surprise that there was
about an inch of water inside. So bearing in mind what has been said here
How did that water get there?

The fact that they can't convert from degrees C to F properly spoils
it a bit..
