That is not exactly what he said. He said it's normal to collect oil, water, and contaminants in the down tube. He also said the liquid collected is not fuel. However, we know the fluid collected by Detours is very combustible. Here is an exact quote.

"Although it smells a bit like gasoline, the Zongshen engineers tell us it is not fuel. It is a mix of oil and water (condensate) from the crankcase."

In effect, he said the Zongshen engineers told him the down tube is not designed to collect fuel.
