A friend had the tank on his GasGas swell so much it was very tough to fit without a rubber hammer!
He tried something he found cited on a forum.... Very hot water with DEB Janitol plus added poured into the tank which did shrink it down for a while. pour in and wait for the tank to get to the desired size.
Just leaving the tank for a while dry in a warn and dry area would do the trick too but yiur still left with the fact it will recurr,
Long term the problem is that the insides of the tanks are very smooth so getting any coating that stops the ethanol getting into the plastic and getting said stuff to stick isn't easy. KTM tried this on one series of tank which resulted in the coating degrading and filling the fuel lines with sludge.
The other option is to get the ethanol out of the fuel, there are DIY kits for this but who wants many litres of fuel and buckets of highly flammable ethanol kicking around their garage or shed??
