pumped on, condensation, faulty filler cap seal,

Everyone had good answers. I was researching this recently
and read an interesting discussion on condensation. The author
felt that condensation was extremely unlikely to occur, and
that this was a myth. I tend to agree with him.

I'd say pumped on, faulty filler cap, ingress via fill hose cap and
the vent hose. That assumes you have no hose leaks--which
would be pretty obvious.

Bart,
I'm not sure what would make an onboard tank less susceptible to
condensation than our 10,000 gallon surface diesel tanks, but they get
condensation all the time and we have to pump them out regularly.
Scout

Size is the big issue for condensation. Big and more volume,
is more likely to have condensation, right?

Only if you leave it empty or only part full. Keep it full and you will be
OK

squatter's right claim for caretaking....sugar works, too....

Putting water or sugar in someone's gas tank is an old country remedy
for settling property line disputes....

It never settled anything, rather it provoked inter-family feuds (not the
gameshow type either). Some of those feuds became violent. I think
Michigan was rife with such disputes.

Trouble with that is that your neighbour will be stuck at home and will
guess who did it.
Much better to sneak out at night and psition a roof nail under his tyre.
He will be well down the road before it goes flat and will never be able
to prove it was not an accidental puncture..

Actually a surveyor could probably settle such disputes more peaceably.
