The cap and seals to most fuel tanks I am familar with(I use to be in the fuel handling business once upon a time) are not really all that good in the first place.Especially after years of use.I would not count on their staying sealed for very long. Then there are the vent pipes for preventing vapor lock.They have no cap or seal and if the water rose over the top of them the water would definitely enter the tanks and displace the lighter gasoline. And I don't see the vent pipes sticking up above the water in that photo.
After taking a second look I don't see the vent pipes but I also do not see the tell-tale slick a fuel leak would have.
