2 crazy ideas for the safety float valve mod.
#1 Place the bottom tube tangentially to the float chamber instead of in the middle so as to impart a spiral airflow. Since the air has a longer path to travel it loses momentum and any water droplet carried falls to the bottom of the chamber.
#2 Divide the float chamber by a truncated cone with a small hole in the middle like a Belleville washer. This washer will act as a baffle to catch any droplet and direct it down into the lower chamber. A smaller float resides in the upper chamber to seal off the outlet pipe in case the chamber becames full.
