Since install, how has this expansion tank performed?. Any issues with leaks or failure of this tank?

There was a leaked but my husband pushed the tank in harder and it hasn't leaked since.Make sure that the tank is all the way in. Push down on it but be gentle. A great buy saved me nearer $800

After new tank,I've driven about 14k miles. I also drove from NYC to Chicago with only gas stops and didn't have any issues. But one tip. Make sure to change the upper and lower horses too.

I _think_ my second unit had water drops in the tank when it arrived. Both units that I have bought (both of which are operating fine and I love) came from the Amazon Warehouse rather than Amazon itself, and were out of their factory packaging, so I expected some abnormality and didn't think much about it.

Fix the leak, first. An expansion tank doesn't fix leaks. As for sources of such tanks, they should be on hand at places like Lowe's or Home Depot.

Have had no problem with leakage so far on the two units purchased around last June (2013) for my large pool. I suspect you received a defective unit, or it was damaged somehow compromising the seals. Suggest you send back for replacement if possible.

I did not have a leaking problem. Check all the connections and points where parts meet. I did install a shutoff in the gas line and each time I shut the unit off I turn off the gas and let it run dry, this helps reduce build up in the carburetor and hopefully will make the unit run well for a long time.

I also had replaced mine since the tank leaked. Not sure of the model number; however, I understand that this model does tend to leak. Good luck!

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

Hi Gene - this was backordered, and I got mine today. There was no damage at all due to shipping. I followed the "first time" instructions (add oil, install air filter, run unloaded i.e. with air tank valve open for 20 minutes) - that all went fine. It is working perfectly so far. Boy - its really strong and well built too. The manual is kind of crappy though - but its not rocket science. Rob

If I recall correctly when I purchased mine well over a year ago I had a leak problem with the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Called Rollair and they shipped me another valve and that fixed the problem. The compressor may have a small issue to fix but in my opinion it's well worth it. I'm considering buying another one for back up.

Mine leaks like crazy. It will drain the whole reservoir on the shop floor if I set it down normally. The only thing I've been able is to store it so that it is laying with its oil cap and gas (+oil) cap facing the ground. I wish I had gotten something without the oil leakage and more professional strength instead. As far as oil consumption during use, a tank of gas might last 30 minutes and at that point it has used a full tank of oil as well.

Never had any problems starting the engine. I have never run the tank completely dry.

Hi Peter,So far I haven't had any problems with it, I have only had water in mine and I was it on a regular basis.

I am using mine in a VW camper van, no leakage. This is the second one I purchased, the first one gave up and only because the fasteners between the water storage tank and the waste tank wore out after about 25 years. I got tired of taping it together for a couple of cycles and purchased a new one...found they improved the fasteners. Maybe this one will last the rest of my life and it is used frequently.

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

I've had mine since November and have never had a leakage problem. Could be faulty?? or over tightened?

I have had mine a few months... do not use it as much as I would like but have had no problems with leakage. Hopefully it will last a good, long time, but I have not had mine long enough to know.

No, I have not had a problem with leaks. I have used my for about 9 months and am very satisfied with it's performance
