Yes, water will sink to the bottom. On FI cars the return flow will stir things 
up when the engine is running and keep things mixed. Carbed cars will not 
do this.

I wonder if the short line you got was for a carbed beetle? It's possible that 
they were supplied differently, and that part would certainly be much more 
likely to still be available from the dealer. (It might be the only one that they 
still carry as a replacement part.)
