Re: Tank fix
Mine has a few bubbles on the visible tank surface, so will be interested in how you get on with the fix.
Some say it's water vapour seeping through the plastic, which comes out of water saturated ethanol in the fuel?

Re: Tank fix
I think the ethenol eats through the tank.
Its not as easy to do as the instructions say, the raptor tank is a convoluted shape, i eventually unplugged the pump housing end and used a brush to get to some of the parts it didn't reach. Its now sitting for a week. I will take a photo of the inside before i reassemble.
I also guess it will now hold 1/2 a litre less fuel!!

Re: Tank fix
Thanks, probably won't do mine until next year, so you can be the trailblazer
No fuel pump housing on mine, so could be even more difficult.
