Has anyone got a contact, preferably a phone number, for Chris (aka PTM)? My tank has decided it no longer wants to hold fuel!
Please U2U.
Thanks

Join the queue. I think MK7 had got hold of his number.

How did your's fail Chris?

hey up

another member here!! mine split the day b4 the SVA!!! argh!

i dont have PTM`s contact but would be interested if you can get it!!

MK7 does have it.

so far i havent done much about it, but Mk very kindly suppling me with a new cost price ally tank this weekend. but if i could get something off PTM then that would be good!

the tank seams just parted! its not to bad if you keep the tank 1/4 full!! endless trips to the garage tho!!

Ihave had mine for about a year, installed in the car but not filled with fuel. I put about 5 litres in when I started the engine about 2 months ago no problem. Mindful of these problems you chaps had had I made sure it wasn't leaking and it had a vent in it. In fact it has a built in vent in the pump housing and the cap is a vented cap.
It has been sitting there with minimum fuel, dregs in the bottom, for about a month until now when the seams started to part. The walls and top have also distorted badly (probably causing the sides to split), not from a pressure related problem but from what seems like a chemical reaction to the fuel in it causing the material to expand.
Is this anything like your problems?
I spoke to Martin (MK) who told me about making you an ally tank at cost but as I dealt with Chris direct I wouldn't expect him to do one for me on those terms.

I'm still in discussion with PTM about getting a refund. Chris has agreed a full refund (to his customer... MK) and I'm waiting for this to complete so I can then discuss getting the refund from MK.

I took my faulty tank back to MK on Saturday and heard from MK that PTM may have been the victim of a supply of the wrong sealing material which got into a (large) batch of tanks.

I'm sure that everyone that has had the misfortune to manufacture, supply or own a faulty plastic tank has got a few wounds to lick. I trust that everyone involved in this situation will work amicably to arrive at an equitable outcome for all.

I have a ptm plastic i havn't filled it right up yet bugger

Not all plastic tanks have split there are loads about still being used.
After talking to Martin K it seems that only some tanks have problems.

Trouble is, you won't know until it's held petrol for a while, and then filled up.

Not good...

So does anyone need a fuel tank?

you should make it really obvious to the uninitiated that you are a coded professional welder.
