Swollen tank cured.

Back on topic, even E5 will cause issues, it's caused problems with my old Efco strimmer and 2 stroke mixing bottle. I now drain the strimmer and run it dry unless I know I'll be using it the next day. The mixing bottle has deformed but not a problem in reality.

I've never bought E10 for the garden tools. First thing I noticed was the fuel filler cap retainer (which sits in the tank) went soft and fell out of the cap - no biggie but this wasn't long after E5 was introduced.

The rubber seal on my Husky no-spill fuel can nozzle has perished. I've had to use the old screw cap filler nozzle though the can has never had anything other then E5 in it. My saws, brushcutter and lawnmower which are all autotune and in theory compatible with E10 are fine but Husqvarna obviously forgot about the fuel can seals.
 
This got me thinking. I pressume you mean the plastic petrol container on the huskie.

From completely left field I thought, I wonder if a condom unrolled so it still looks like an o ring seal, would do the job? So I asked google ai , does e10 rated petrol effect condoms? it told me

No, E10 petrol does not directly affect condoms. E10 is a type of fuel, and it's the percentage of ethanol in unleaded petrol. It's the ethanol in the fuel that affects the elasticity and chemical composition of latex condoms. E10 is different from oil-based substances like Vaseline, baby oil, or mineral oil, which can break down latex condoms.

Here's why:
  • E10 and Fuel Tanks:
    E10 is a blend of unleaded petrol and up to 10% ethanol. It's designed to be used in vehicles that are compatible with it.
  • Condom Material:
    Condoms are typically made of latex, a natural material that is sensitive to oil-based lubricants, but not to ethanol.
  • Lubricant Compatibility:
    If using latex condoms, it's crucial to avoid oil-based lubricants, such as petroleum jelly or Vaseline, as they can weaken the condom and increase the risk of breakage.
  • Water-Based Lubricants
    Water-based or silicone-based lubricants are safe to use with all types of condoms, including latex, polyisoprene, and natural rubber latex.

    The only trouble is explaining that to the mrs if you're caught with a condom in your tool kit

No, not the fuel tank on the saw, the filler nozzle on the fuel/chain oil can. The chain oil no-spill nozzle is fine. The fuel nozzle is goosed.

I beleive the answer is that the front looks a lot like the rear. People often dislike or even fear change/the unknown and the will violently resist change even if it is for the better. I personally dont see any advantage to the front swingarm but it is very interesting and some say its much better under braking. I would have to imagine that this setup would add considerable weight and then there is the complexity but again, I have no issue with the design. There is room in my world of motorcycles for multiple different solutions to any problem. Cant we all just get along? Smiley face imoji
