Can confirm a frequent problem, at least for another carrier . Except ours didn't happen from corrosion- the discharge of bilges with JP5 in it upstream of the intake of water for desalinization was ours. The fuel would make it through the distillers, into the potable tanks.
It was pretty damn obvious, though, when it happened, and we'd flush it out- it wasn't the most carcinogenic threat on the boat.
