I just had a weird experience with my 2210 and am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I was blowing snow for several days straight in near zero or below zero weather. On the last day I was going to top up the fuel tank and realized the cap was frozen on from snow that had melted and then froze on and around the fuel cap. I had plenty of fuel in the tank to do the job so I just didn't worry about it. When I pulled the tractor back in the shed after about 45 minutes of work, I realized the fuel cap was tilted at an angle and was sucked down on one side below the lip of the hood. When I opened the hood, I realized the entire fuel tank was sucked down and "crumpling" on one side. Then it struck me the cap is vented and if the vent was also frozen, no air was getting into the tank. With some additional effort I was able to remove the cap and as soon as I did, the tank started to return to it's original form (un-crumple if you would.) I'll have to examine it next time out to make sure it didn't crack.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen?
