Default water in my gas

What part would i need to replace if there is water getting into my gas after it rains? I've got the drain line cleaned out but still yet somehow water is getting in there? is there some type of gasket that i don't see?

There is a seal on the gas cap itself. If it is not there then its possible that water could get in that way.

the seal around the lid is there but i'm guessn its bad...yea the bike will run like crap, i bought a syphon and stuck it down in the bottom of the tank and syphoned out water thats how i knew. i've got the problem straightend out right now just gotta order that gasket, and the drain tube comes off the bottom of the tank. when i pulled my tank the 1st time i checked it and it was stopped up.
