Hi Andrew, As promised, I have now got the answer you enquired about from *FUELOCK*. It is, as I thought, an insurance requirement. Their answer was so complete, I am copying it below:
***COPIED*** Wow, an order already - that's a fab start. The enquirer is correct, our website does indeed include those words, and I really wish it didn't need to do so. They are there, and only there at the insistance of our insurers who felt it needed to be covered. We have had Fuelock extensively tested, both in lab and in situ and we have never found any issue with water leaking into fuel tanks and contaminating fuels. I can personally vouch for fact that I spent three weeks in gales and teeming rain around Hebrides in summer and no leakage was reported. Since Fuelock launched four months ago we have more than doubled our expected ANNUAL sales and have not had a single report of water leakage. I think our insurers, like all insurers are being ultra cautious and would say that nothing is ever guaranteed to be 100% watertight, but our experience has shown that water leakage is simply not an issue. Hope this helps? ***END OF COPY** There! That says it all! Regards, ~Allan~ PS: I will be writing on *Fuelock* in January, on my web blog page.
