Kevin,
<<What concerns me about ram air to create positive pressure inside the fuel tanks is the possibility of rain water being rammed along with the air into the tanks>>
Note that flow through the vent is effectively zero.  The vent is just generating static pressure.  If you have a short vertical run, up into the wing for example, there is really nothing trying to push water in the form of individual droplets up the tube.  Fully submerging the tube end in water would be a different story.
