With sealed systems you only expose it to condensation via outside air when you fill up. The more often you fill up, the more times you let air in and expose it to condensation. Fill up often and get more condensation. Fill up only when you need it and the filling of the fluid pushes out all the air and you only have exposure to a little bit of air less often, therefore less condensation....... :oops: And then there is the venting off when hot and cooling down and equalizing. Venting off hot air means your getting rid of moisture laden air. Equalizing with cool air means you getting dryer air and you do this every 24 hours in most all climates unless ultra cold and then below freezing the air the dry anyway.

And filling up during a rain storm is even worse.

So those who fill up more often have more exposure to air and the condensation it brings. So your doing more harm to your fuel system. And dont get me started on alcohol in fuel being hydroscopic. Meaning it attracts moisture and carries it through the fuel system. :twisted:
