I'll have to agree to disagree. ....3rd times the charm and i haven't pleased a single damn one yet ....but they can't spoil my happiness

Go wheeling. Then after, have deck raising party.

BTW be watchful on your fuel cell. Same cell several of us had. Had 4 of them split and fail in one day at The Dixie Run.

I had an older tank do the same thing, hopefully the way this one is mounted I wont have an issue, i gave it a little room to flex, we will see

Flex is what kills em.
Mine, Matt's, Chris Griggs, and Tony Wilson's, all split.
If and when it happens, I called and got all of us new tanks.

 

[mcutler]

Don't feel it's flex, i had zero deflection in my mounting. Purely quality control, fusion welding on too thin of material.

 

[RKBJR]

I have had 3 different RCI fuel cells leak at the welds in my buggy. Always mounted with clamps, not tabs. I gave up on RCI and had a cell fabricated with the same dimensions, with baffles inside.

So does it have to be split to get a new tank?, your little red tank looks nice back there

agreed

I agree that it is likely this plus some flex/vibration. I think that the weak weld/heat zones are moving causing them to be weaker, and the force from fuel sloshing kills them.

simply put, all fusion, no filler
4 tanks, mounted a lil different, all split down a seam, except mine and it split at the top.

Best part...They made it right for everyone!

I was impressed!

 

[SCOOBYSTUNTS]
