It only takes about 10 seconds for me to fully prime my fuel system.  ie, Water in the tank will hit the engine within 5 seconds, then most of it will be back in the tank in another 5 seconds.

Takeoff is the critical point.  Something I have never seen discussed is
knowing how long it takes for water to effect your engine.  It would seem
that one could introduce water in the fuel and run the engine up, and time
how long till the engine sees it.  Assuming this was well known one would
think that run ups on the ground for a longer period than this would be
excellent prevention.
