Water in fuel

Just had my first water in fuel warning (47,000 mi). Drained about a quart of fuel and got less than 1/2 of a teaspoon full. Is this enough to get the warning message, or did I not drain enough fuel?

The WATER IN FUEL light will come on when approximately 0.2 pints (100 cc or 3.4 ounces) of water accumulates in the module. One teaspoon equals 0.17 ounces, so you should see 20 teaspoons of water when the WIF lamp "lights up". That is about 2/5 of a cup.

Thanks, I'll drain more, but the odd thing is my WIF went off when I drained the quart and got the 1/2 teaspoon.
