No, gas tanks do
not always have gasoline in them so being constantly submerged is not the
answer.
I'm guessing the pump was low enough as to always be submerged, even when
the tank was "empty?"

Nope, mentioned that above, of millions each year built this way there had
to be a few thousand that went with out caps and the gas evaporated.


"Had to be?" Sounds pretty speculative. :-)
