I can't believe how stupid some people are - a tank has a major repair,the welds are questioned,but a verbal she'll be right is accepted and a $400 paint job put on the tank - AND NO ONE BOTHERED TO FILL THE TANK AND TEST FOR LEAKS!!!! No,my caps lock is not stuck,I'm really shouting...it's basic dog fuck mate.

Service providers guarantee their services will be:

* Performed with reasonable care and skill.

Yeah I think that should cover what's happened here...

They better be doing this work for free!

the bike shop has been good and got the guy who did the work to fix it, so everything is being done for free but people should do a job right the first time, i took the tank the and pressure tested it, it checked out fine. BUT if you pay a guy to do a job why is it up to me to check it properly?.
I'm an engineer by trade so i have a little knowledge to get me by and more and more im having to get jobs redone (like my tank) or do it myself because don't want the hassles of other people screwing it up. maybe this is a case of all the skills going overseas,are other people finding this or is it just me ?????????

If you leak tested it yourself and it check out,I'd say it was probably ok when they checked it too,in that case it's still their problem,but falls into ''shit happens''.I've repaired many fuel tanks and other fluid holding recepticles - you always test at the final stage,before painting or fitting.I've had tanks and sumps get hairline cracks around welds,it's like the metal has work hardened,and you just chase the cracks,never succeeding.If I ever repair a tank now it automaticly has a tank liner,it's the only way to be sure.

No not just you, i dont let anyone wrk on my bikes anymore, i have enough of a clue along with a manual to do the job myself...the problem is all my mates feel the same ....only they dont have a clue :confused2 so im stuck fixing theirs aswell

...also i dont think the skills have gone abroad..they have just retired

I stopped having sex once, my mother then left the room so my girlfriend and I then carried on where we'd left off.

if you weld something properly then it is most likely to brake NEXT to the weld for the reason you just said the grain stucture gets courser around a weld and that is also where all the stress is.don't know if you wanted to know that but heh i'm bored and whats a tank liner ????????????
