Good read, as usual, Mick.
Interesting reading of your problem with the tank. Not sure, but I believe it is the same people in
Melbourne that I purchased my long range tank from.
If that is indeed the case then I would advise anybody to be a tad careful if purchasing from them.
You will recall that I had a similar problem this year. Maybe, just maybe, they need to have a very close look at the manufacturing process.
Yes I know they repaired the tank, and paid shipping costs, but it came back looking like a repair, and not a particular good looking one either. Time will tell if indeed it is a quality repair, but for the money paid it should not be in the back of the mind..........."will it fail again??" -especially on extended remote trips.
And they did not even bother to put a shroud over the very exposed drain plug..............
Lesson learnt as to where I place my pennies next time.
-and if anyone is interested, MM me and I will give you the name.
cheers
MJ
