Motion tanks are fiberglass. Some are having problems, and others have not. Easiest way to check is to remove the fuel filter and cut it apart. There will be goal/amber chips in the bottom of the fuel filter.
To fix this problem you have to cut the top of the tank off and cover the tank with a two part expoxy.
hope this helps.

Regardless of materials used (fiberglass, Aluminum or stainless ) IMHO it may be appropriate to consider DUAL vents, a water trap and two flapper valves for the purpose of slowing if not eliminating ambient air when fuel is not being drawn. Further, as fuel is being drawn the water trap is TO collect moisture, without restriction.
Subject to plumbing design, the system should breath without positive or negative tank pressure.
