I honestly can't say , we use to fit a few EXEL tanks when I was still in the industry and never had airlocks or cracks on the welding .
Some of the other manufactures had some hair cracks on the welding :thumbdown:

Had a 42lt fitted from them on my Fortuner. No problems at all.

But could never get more than 105lt in both, now matter how empty I drove it.

But I think my gauge showed empty when there was still n few litres of fuel left in std tank. I even drove it with reserve light on for 60km. Still couldnt get more than 105lt in there.

No airlocks nothing, awesome tanks :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a 88L ss tank from Gerbers on my Vigo. It only drops the spare by 50mm. The only problem is filling it takes long and they could not fix it. I get the full capacity so no air lock the breather is just not right and I have not spend enough time under the vehicle to sort it out myself.
