Water seperation

I was wondering something. The way the water seperator works is by letting the water settle out of the diesel around the filter. When the water is in the tank, it is probably in big drops. The line makes it into smaller drops. This shouldnt be a problem for the seperator, but it goes through the lift pump. This would berak it into very small droplets. Does the water have enough time to fall out of solution in the filter before the flow pulls it through the filter and onto the engine.
just wondering. I was concerned with bad fuel a few weeks ago on a trip.
