Has anyone had there oil tank crack and start leaking? If you had this happen what did you use too fix it? :confused

 

How did you crack your oil tank??????

 

My oil tank cracked down the side where the dipstick is. It also cracked where the line is connected at the bottom of the tank. I think that I may have caused the bottom of the tank to crack when I was tugging on the oil line trying to remove it. Anyways, it can be welded. I had mine welded by a shop that I trust. They charged me 35 dollars to weld the side and the bottom. He did a fantastic job too. It now is stronger than the factory ever though about making it.
35 is alot cheaper than 180 for a new one.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Has anyone tried the new aftermarket aluminum oversize tanks?

 

i had mine crack around the oil line block on the bottom the day before our glamis trip. i welded it and it worked, but once something proves to be garbage, it will always be. i took some 1/8 inch aluminum and made my own so now if there's a problem i can blame myself.
