  1. No one hurt

    Made Jan 12, 2023, sent to the company Nov 15, 2023, published by CPSC Nov 30, 2023

    The product, in the report: Universal Aluminum Fuel Tank Cell Racing Drift Gas Street Lightweight 20 Gallon/80L Capacity 19.75” (L) x 24” (W) x 10” (H)

    I purchased a N.I.B. “universal aluminum fuel tank cell 20 gallon capacity” to utilize on a marine restoration project, after install and filling the tank with fresh gasoline/2 cycle engine oil mixture, while operating the vessel on a public waterway I continually noticed the odor of gasoline and steady decline in the fuel level according to a connected fuel level gauge. Upon inspecting all the hoses and connections with no leakage noted or found, I furthered my search and observed fuel dripping from the side of the tank opposite the outlet fittings in about an eight inch wide area, approx. an inch and a half above the bottom welded seam in the solid metal sheet making up the side panel. I immediately headed for shore and loaded the vessel onto it’s trailer removing it from the waterway and quickly as possible drained the remaining fuel into an approved plastic gasoline storage can/container. I was only able to recover approx. two gallons from at least ten gallons of the fuel stored in the tank.

    The leakage is clearly resulting from a defect in material or workmanship of the product and after contacting the distributor where the item was purchased, they show no concern for the situation other than to quickly point out “after 60 days none of our products are eligible for return or exchange”.

    My fear is that many of these universal fuel tanks have already been manufactured and sold as well as many more will be manufactured and sold without any regard for quality control, adequate inspection or testing to ensure they do not enter the consumer market base knowing they have a potential to leak combustible fuels into the natural environment or into an environment where an ignition source be present resulting in possible loss, injury or death. No substantial loss or injuries occurred prior to this report being filed on this incident.
