Yup. Good call out.
To be clear, the modern bikes have plastic tanks under the skins. There was a period of time in the mid 2000s when the entire tank was plastic. The ethanol in US fuel would cause the tanks to expand, and eventually not fit into the frame. There were a variety of treatments for it, but given the oceans of bikes available, why fiddle with it?
