I am returning an early Europa(pre 2000) back to service. It has been sitting with an empty fuel tank for a number of years. I've been reading the postings on swelling and cracking problems with the older tanks. Does anyone have any suggestions/precautions I could take prior to putting fuel back in it that might help prevent these issues ?

thanks

Just fill it up, and see if it leaks. My opinion is that the time to worry
about tank strapping (causing pressure points) is during the build. Maybe
someone else has a better idea. After that, try to keep some level of gas in
it, to minimize the number of expansion cycles that come with not having any
gas in it for awhile.
