The nylon/plastic fuel tank has started to show signs of warping and deformation. This issue has been highly speculated to be caused by phase separation/e10 fuel related causes which attract environmental moisture into the fuel and tank and ultimately cause deformation. 2008+ versions of the triumph speed triple now come equipped with a metal fuel tank with which this is no longer an issue. Unfortunately that doesn't help me with the problems I am experiencing.
