HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Just put mine on tonight, didnt realize how warped my tank was, had to heat it up to get it on. With the insert installed the cap goes on way easier. One side sits a little higher than the other but the cap pulls it down. Shouldnt leak now either.
D
thank you for the feedback .. installed a sleeve in a m8 the other day .. heated bottle for a few minutes with a hairdryer .. fit nice and tight .. the owner tightened the cap and said i saved him atleast $100 from not having to replace the bottle .. took a pic with sleeve installed
G
mine doesn't sit that nice and tight, you can still see the o ring pretty clearly but it is squeezed a little. Maybe i will heat it up again and see if it goes down a little more.
D
sleeve should be seated for a good seal .. a snug cap should do the trick
G
Yep heated it up yesterday and got it to seat perfect now and the cap snugs down nicely with no cross threading! Great fix.
D
perfect !! .. i like to hear that :face-icon-small-ton
Oil Tank Fix
I am putting on both Dan's sleeve and Kelsey's cap on my 2011 M8 snopro. That had ought to do the trick! Thanks to Dan and Kelsey for all of their help!

Maybe post the price again and mailing address unless you want to PM that.
I am still interested, just pondering the best way to trim off the excess plastic bump on the seam inside my 2010 tank. I know you said a hot knife but please verify if that is still the best way to trim it off.
Thanks.

Needlenose pliers or pinchers .. hairline piece of plastic we are talking about

i heated a razor knife to trim the top of neck a bit the other day to install a sleeve in an Arctic Cat .. all went well .. sleeve fit nice a snug and seated tight to the top lip of bottle .. seen some where you dont have to cut anything, just heat bottle with a hairdryer then pop it in ... check measurement inside bottle - should be 1.75 inch diameter
