Husqvarna Power Generators Fuel tank surface rust

I bought a Husqvarna G8500P 7.5 kw power generator from Industrial and Chainsaw and was fortunate to notice after 3 months of having the generator that there were rust spots in the fuel tank. I contacted Industrial and chainsaw and there was first an excuse that it is a common problem and it is not such a big problem. That annoyed me because when I buy a new generator I only expected rust in the fuel tank after a number of years. It took almost six months to have it changed after I had to call a number of times to check up on the progress and finally I had it changed. I also called Husqvarna to find out why it was taking so long to get a new tank from them, but I never got a return call from them as I was promised by the receptionist. I thought how many people are there with this problem that are unaware of this problem and end up with problems after the guarantee is over because the dirt ends up clogging the jets. I guess the reason I am writing the review is to suggest that when you buy a new generator, remove the fuel filler cap sieve and have a look into the tank and see if there is any surface rust.
