[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] guess I gotta go check my VIN....

 

I'm clean! (and the doctor says that other thing will clear up in about a week...)

 

my vin did not match either but my tank is splitting at the seam and i took it to the dealer and tank is on its way .so just because your vin is clean take a look at the seam on your tank thats where it will leak from...hope this helps

 

Friend of mine has a "05 TBX and is waiting for a tank. The dealer said it may take a while as the tanks are backordered and slow to arrive to the dealers. We had planned on using them to get to our turkey hunting area next week. Now his is down and he is bumming.
