[QUOTE="TOY BOAT, post: 319192, member: 6910"] I have a brand new Foam filled metal tank. Is it ok to leave it in the boat exposed to the sun? I have the fuel line conected to the motor, but the vent slightly cracked to avoid any pressure build up when it is hot. Or should I just remove it, and put it in my shed when not in use? The shed gets pretty hot inside too. My old plastic tanks would blow up like footballs even in the shed. Should the vent be cracked or just closed when not in use to keep moisture out? I did try a search, but if this has been covered, I may not have had the right key words. [/QUOTE]
