[unforgiven]

Wow, is it common for this to happen?

Holly shit!!!

No doubt going to call them Monday A/M and see what they will do.

Wow, is it common for this to happen?

Seen quite a few posts about this but not sure how common.
Best I can say is if it happens once, its too much!
Boy I got lucky when it happened for sure.
Plus still have the stock one

Another reason I'm not a big fan of aftermarket reservoirs.

 

[RKWFord]

Well,
Canton had a few of these go bad in posts I have seen but for the most part I thinks its a great product and will put another on it as well if they warranty it.
If they don't warranty it , I will be surprised.
Plus will keep the stocker handy
Even a stocker can crack.

i don't care what anyone says, there's no excuse for that. good thing it happened where it did for you OP, at least it wasn't worse.

+1 that is worksmanship error.
These are not UPR billet interior door handles, there is no excuse for even one thread online with a failure of your oil pan under any conditions, sitting in your garage or racing. You should not be in the buisness of selling oil pans if you even have one failure.

Everyone has their off days - you are not allowed to with this costly a part. If this was my company the welder and whoever was responsible for checking the parts before they go out would be fired on the spot, and I would take accountability by changing how my company goes about the welding process and inspecting before it goes out to the customer.

unacceptable.

You do realize that it is a coolant reservoir right? Not an oil pan...

There have been no Canton oil pan failures and there won't be, they aren't pressurized like the coolant reservoir and they're steel, not aluminum...

 

[95PGTTech]

Wow, that's my bad.
I still stand behind my point, I would be pretty angry.

The Canton tank failure is expected from the ones before '06. I too have experienced a failure. To Canton's credit though they replaced mine with an upgraded version which I eventually sold. And that was nearly 2 years after the purchase and they certainly didn't give me any grief for not having a receipt. So that speaks volumes about why Canton will outlast many companies. That being said, I now run a Moroso tank which uses the stock cap and the welds are pretty damn beefy. 2 years and zero problems. The PFab tank sold through Lethal P looks amazing.

I don't think they will give me any grief either but we will see tomorrow.

Wow, that's insane. I was thinking about buying one of these...

 

[Smacked_in_ATL]

When did you get that tank?

 

[chopps]

When did you get that tank?

Probably in 04 or early 05.
Talked to Tech this am and they said that the cobras have a surge problem but there were going to fix it for free or replace.
Only thing I really paid attention to was fix for free or replace.
Got the stocker in now so no pronlems with it for now.
