Do you not have to use a carbon canister like we do here in Australia? That should eliminate any similar problem.

I do not use a carbon canister. But I don't see how that would change anything. Maybe they are different in Australia.

I spill gas every week on the tank and deck and the paint is still in great condition. I use premium gas and Stabil in the winter. Just a thought.
Exactly. BDR charges a lot of money for their paint jobs and assembly. It shouldn't be this fragile.
