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
