Not necessarily, though. Eddie only first appeared in Mega Man 4, and E-Tanks have been around since Mega Man 2- there (And indeed, in every other game they've appeared in), they can be found in the open, dropped by enemies, and bought. Once you do have them, up to four of them can be carried with you and used at any time without Eddie's assistance- which is why I was thinking, it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume he could have one with him at the time. Sort of like Mario and his power-ups, or Luigi whipping a Smash Ball from his pocket.
