Hi Dan, I bought my green translucent tank from Fred and it's held up quite well. It protected my radiator in my Big Crash (TM) and I've been quite happy with it. Note that back when I bought it there was a batch of ones that had bad petcock cut-outs, and I was unlucky enough to get one of the bad ones. Fred worked with IMS on my behalf and IMS was pretty easy to work with. I sent the tank back and they cross-shipped me a new one that they'd double-checked to ensure a correct cut-out. The only downside, IMHO, is that the brackets that hold it to the radiator are pretty fiddly. They don't seem to be very necessary, though. -- Blake Sobiloff http://www.sobiloff.com/> San Jose, CA (USA) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
