Is this tank a post recall build, or will I still have to install the recall kit on this new tank?

The new tanks do not need the kit. It is just the tanks built during certain dates.

my understanding is that the repair / recall kit still needs to be installed - specifically the external regulator and metal U-Band both of which are easy to install...The best direction is to check the serial number at http://recall.flushmate.com or call 800-303-5123 for verification

This is post tank recall build! I just installed one and the mfg date was last month. 06/17/2015. I checked the serial# on the recall on flush mate website--is not part of recall! Do not need to install retro kit.

Why take the chance? Several severe injuries have resulted from the "recalled" tanks, which were not actually recalled but a "repair kit" is sent to you for no charge. Unfortunately reports are now out that the repair kit does not solve the problem.

I was not aware of a recall. My initial tank developed a crack after 4-5 years. I purchased this direct repacement as well as the installation wrench. It was an easy install (30 minutes) and has been working fine.

I also have the same question. Installed the recall kit and flush performance now sucks. The valve is leaking a little anyway, so I was thinking about replacing the entire tank. Really don't want to have to install the recall kit again. Seems like the manufacturer should have started making new tanks with improvements to prevent the need for the recall kit alterations. If anyone has purchased the new tank, and can confirm that is does or does NOT need the recall kit, please let us know. Thanks.

I haven't been informed of a recall. I gave the one I bought as a gift and have used it a few times. Seems to be fine

model number should be inside the tank near top on backinside wall or on iside of tank lid. You can alos go to totousa and look at examples and part numbers.

Sounds like a common problem. You will have to measure the original tank and and be aware of the filler cap as to where it is located. Also take note of the screw locations for securing the tank in place. on this tank there are 4 screw locations. 2 on either narrow sides. Hopes this helps.

Glad I kept the instructions. Quote: 3 bolts are included but some tanks only require 2. So, it sounds like you're good to go :)

I bought this tank locally and it did not require purging. The attendant said most new tanks come pre-purged now. The manufacturing date on my tank was 7-13.

I checked with Gree @ 2:00 pm on 5/19/14 and they told me that this unit IS NOT under recall @ this time. I will be getting this unit to replace the Soleus SG-DEH-25-4 that is being recalled . Look on the Consumer Safety web site and they will list all ( and there's a lot ) of the units being recalled !

mine came with all the gaskets that you need to install the tank. it's not extremely difficult, but you may need special tools to put the retainer rings back on

MFG Sticker on mine is long gone so no help there. The tank was USA made (one of my buying reasons). All the other parts are cheap imports. As for parts would recommend Tractor Supply or other farm supply store.

I see where the confusion is. It appears to be empty. Odd warnings in the description though. I would contact weldfabulous directly to see if that specific tank is full or empty. I think its empty.

Yes and it is very easy. I wondered the same thing. the tank fit just fine and have used the log split-er the new tank is attached to.

I put mine on a tank from 1985 and it works. It is trial and error in the sense that I had to make adjustments. You can always call the company as I did a few times; I found them to be very helpful.

Don't see that model on the totousa.com site. Did you pull the model number from inside of tank or from original installation docs?

...I hope so. I have a new replacement "fuel tank", a "skid plate". The only remaining items in question will be the condition of the "sending unit" and the miscellaneous "fuel and mechanical attachments". I plan on installing all of the components in the springtime 2014. To all of that what would be your recommendation/s?

It will not work. This tank has screw in connections for compression fitting. You will need to buy an exact replacement for your system just to make sure it will work. Good luck.................
