Triumph plastic tanks and ethanol: issues?

I haven't suffered any issues yet but I'm now running mine on good old 95 unleaded - no ethanol. However if you look at many Tiger 955i adverts on Ebay you'll see a significant number have bubbling paint on the tank.

 

We still have the choice of non-ethanol 95 OR 95 E10 over here.

 

I've had my t595 for 16 years. the tank was growing even before the ethanol debate started I had to elongate the holes in the octopus cover to fit back on the tank.
I tend to store it with very little fuel in the tank now.

 

BP Ultimate and Esso V Power are apparently Ethanol free and Clive Wood advises that you drain down the tank if not using the machine for long periods . Bikertubby .

 

One option would be to use a liquid tank liner kit.

 

I have been told they work

 

Don't know about Triumph but certainly older Aprilias have issues with tank expansion due to the ethanol content which causes leaks at the bottom of the tank where the fuel pump sits.
As I understand it all UK fuel contains ethanol but potentially the higher grade stuff has less and would therefore be less likely to cause problems, although no guarantees.
