I'm just guessing. If the bottom of your tank was mounted above your carb or carbs, could condensation(water) sink its way down to it and bust it on a cold nite?Could this be what is happening to so many.What if you put a dip in your line to catch water.

OR...mount your tank low in the chassis like it should be to lower your CG.

I keep my buggy in the garage freezing is not a problem for me. I used to have my gas tank mounted low and always played hell working on anything around the trans with it like that. So i raised my tank up and gained about 57 pounds to my fat butt. So the way I see it I still got my CG low from my lard butt. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
