My ERA-supplied tank has a thick iron (I think) flange and I know of few who have had trouble with that model of expansion tank.
I have to go along with this. I had the same problem when I had my Cobra and finally took off the chrome O ring housing and got a stainless one that worked great and looked just as good.
