It's like drinking cold water out of a metal cup. The condensation is on the outside of the cup where the temperature change and air are but your drink doesn't get watered down since it doesn't form condensation on the inside of the cup.

It's worth noting that condensation on the outside of a tank does not mean there's same condensation on inside of tank. Air is a great insulator and if you consider the fact that the air trapped in the tank is going to stay same temperature as the fuel the inside surface of the tank would be much less likely to reach a point where it would condensate.

Hey Eddy, so the DeeMax aux fuel tank part #DZ91752X is a gravity feed design and does not use any pumps. So what does that mean as far as over filling? If the fill line has a check valve built into it then you are okay to leave it open as that would…
