Silber oil tank update

I just received an updated oil tank from Justin. I have the 2012 kit installed. Justin missed the boat on the new tank. I was just looking to get rid of the oil leaks and now what a pain in the a** to work with. The new tank doesn't have a place for the oil pump....so I have to build a bracket for it. The new connection to the turbo is a CHEAP solution. Once you connect the turbo to the oil tank then the bolts won't line up to bolt the stringer down....so now I have to cut off the bracket from the stinger and redesign a new one. This turned out to be an 8 hour affair. I was expecting better from Justin. This new oil tank better not f...king leak.

I had a decent year with the kit last year but have a new appreciation for the more expensive kits. Especially after seeing what powderlights found with the turbo outlet being partially blocked off by the stinger plate and the oil cap leaking. I also found a lot of grime in my airbox and intake.... Now I have to figure out a prefilter. Even with the grime the reeds were still like new with 1500mi boosted.
 
I would gladly accept the tank back and get you a refund. I apologize for the problems you had. :sorry: This is the first I have heard of this and we have had several go out. The new turbo to tank connection actually works very well and allows for us to run a different style cap. The new tanks were designed for the new pumps as well which include the mounting bracket.

What will it take to make it right?

Could you please send us pictures of the tank? We have installed over 30 of these already on last years setup and didnt have these issues.

We understand its a tight fit and works alot easier to install the tank with the turbo assembly off the sled.

Turbo to tank connection is what we have used all the years prior to 2012 kit and it worked great, We are sourcing our a grommet so we dont have to use the hose on the roll over valve.

As for the exhaust, I will not comment besides, post some actual test that shows why our exhaust doesnt work and PL does. All of our gauges tell use we are running the perfect pressure differential.

We will gladly buy the tank back. Just give me a call or shoot me an email.

I appreciate the quick reply but when I ordered the new oil tank then it would have been nice to know that I would have to build a bracket so I could reuse the original pump. This is not the major problem...I assembled the tank to the turbo ( I find that rubber connection worked ,but cheap instead of hard mounting). I can not get the stinger to sit in the proper spot to bolt up with the new tank no matter the orientation. The only other thing is that my stinger was welder out of spec originally. Either way we have snow and I'm not about to use the original leaky tank anymore.

leaky tank

I have a 12 kit that came with the sled I purchased this summer. Had my tank off to repair the broken mount bracket. I was told as long as I have the check ball style cap shouldn't have oil leak issues. Where was your tank leaking & what style cap did you have. Why are they replacing so many tanks?
 
Some of the tanks had the brackets break. We have been fixing then at no charge to people. Some people want the latest stuff and order the new one. We have seen a few that leaked but they were the kits that left early and dont have the rollover valve. If anybody has ine of those caps please pm and ill get you the rollover valve.
 
Justin didnt replace so many tanks. He still had 2012 kit parts left and pjt together new 2012 kits bit used the new oil tank and pump combo. They were not replacement tanks.
 
Of course it makes sense. He's the victim remember....:face-icon-small-con

BTW, my new oil tank is awesome! Thanks Justin for putting out such quality products and Cory for the amazing customer service!
 
Wow

Nothing like just unloading on Snowest! You could have at least contacted them before this out burst!

Guys please ease up, We understand the situation. If something isnt fitting right, he has the right to be upset. Again we will make it right with the customer.
 
I have made it work, Justin. I think to make it better would be either to make the horizontal section up to 1/2" longer to clear the recoil better ( this is what I did) or have the inlet out the back instead of on top and have a longer rubber to give room for inconsistencies between sleds/kits. It was my fault for not asking about the pump when I ordered the tank.

I was just choked at nothing working yesterday.

We appreciate the feedback, It was one of the first tanks, and we have since than adjusted the jig to extend the horizontal section.

If you have issues, we will send you another tank.

Thanks again.
