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 |
