Install a vent in your fuel can ? Atwood tank, Honda 2000i

I have set up two Honda eu2000's on aux fuel cell (Atwood boat tank) I have had this same tank before and it is not vented . In the heat of the day it will swell and try to force fuel down the lines ...

I drilled a Very small hole in my cap. Now the Honda can actually work properly .
Mechanic told me yesterday
The reason fuel cans have been made with NO VENT is actually because Ethanol !
Yep thats right Ethanol , It actually Attracts and Ubsorbes WATER !!
Cars can handle it pretty well but small equipment ....Can Not .

Again leave it to the GOV to waist corn to make ethanol so we can ruin more small engines. Great for the service industry !
