Over 2 years with Clarke here and no problems, had one on my XRL and one on my DRZ now. They are cheap what do ya want?

I'll add my somewhat mixed experiences with a Clarke for my 06 DRZ400S.
I like the tank, but this was a big hassle. Clarke came through promptly with a good replacement, but I think they should accept back warranty claims directly rather than making us jump through hoops. And they didn't reimburse me for the return postage. (It was only $8 so I didn't ask them to, but I've had vendors volunteer or throw in a freebie to cover the hassle.) If you're buying one, you might want to order directly from Clarke in case you get a bum one like I did.

I bought a Clarke tank from the TT store last fall and at Christmas while it was off for maintenance it started leaking from a seam in the rear mount bushing hole. Clarke told me I'd have to return it to the TT store so Bryan Bosch got involved and straightened everything out.(thank you again Bryan). I had to ship it back to Clarke for inspection at a cost of $50.00 CDN. They were great about sending me a replacement but did not reimburse me for the return postage.(Fedex quoted me $ 260.00 for shipping after I told them it was a used fuel tank and it would have to be shipped as hazardous goods, so I washed it out ,sealed it up and told the post office it was "plastic". No matter what product you use it's difficult to remove the smell from plastic).
