| Shortly after installing a spectra premium replacement fuel tank on my 1991 camry, the vent tube leaked fuel and vapors due to a defect in the joint where the vapor tube is soldered to the tank. a hairline crack at this joint was either present at manufacture, or developed soon after install, through which significant vaporous and liquid gasoline escaped. this is a fire and explosion hazard as well as a health and air pollution hazard. i called spectra premium to alert them to this and they refused to assist me and did not return phone calls and messages. the company basically just blew me off and seems to care less about a serious safety problem. i had to use two part epoxy to seal the hairline crack as an interim fix. *tr | |||

| Radiator blew up, replaced it, then cracked intake manifold gasket, replaced it, then blown head gasket, replaced it, then radiator hoses blew, replaced it, then thermostat went out, replaced it, and it stopped working again (thermostat), replaced it, then coolant temperature sensor went out, replaced it, and it went out again, then electrical components went out that lead to the radiator and fan system to the fuse box relays. so all in all its junk. | |||
