[quote=HighPlainsDrifter;1523680]Hi,
Looks great. On my previous cobra I had an aluminum tank made and ran it less than a year then a rock hit it at 65 MPH and cracked the weld, aluminum is brittle. What a pain to drip gas all the way home. Then nobody would fix/ weld it as it had gas in it. So eventually a shop filled the tank with argon and welded it for me. I installed second skin on the forward side of tank:mad
Now my F5 cobra has the mustang tank and shield!

Or poorly made tank?
