Portable fuel tanks!
It's been a year and a half since our marina and rental fleet has switched to to E-10 ethanol fuel. I have had some of our rental skiff come down with starting issues through the year and yesterday had a customer break down(first one). After delivering a replacement tank to him, I found that the plastic pickup tube had dropped away from the plastic pickup body. This has been happening too much. The only thing I can attribute this to is the use of E-10. Prior to that I had not had one tube drop off. The tubes are made of an opaque white plastic material. I thought this would be a good heads up to those of you that use portable tanks in an E-10 area.
Randy,
I know you'll be reading this and since the Triumph line has a poly tank, you could run this by Triumph and see what their take is.
Thanks
Carlos
