Elio Addict
Another thing to contemplate with regard to a smaller fuel tank is the impending menace of the blender pumps and E85.
There are several motorcycle groups that have mobilized to fight the expansion of blender pumps especially when used with E85 and other high alcohol blends. The reason being is that there is always something left in the hose from the last fill.
If the elio were to have a 4 gallon tank it would be exposed to the same fueling issues that motorcyclists have.
THAT IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER SEE DIESEL DISPENSED FROM THE SAME NOZZLE AS GAS .
THIS WOULD BE BAD FOR THE GAS ENGINE BUT POSSIBLY CATASTROPHIC FOR THE DIESEL !
