They are aware that it is happening. There was a limited recall and I think it was on the 2010-2011 models if I remember right. At this time, it is very unlikely they will cover it.

I have an 09 M1000, I am picking up a new tank tomorrow that cat is covering(no labor), I have to provide the neck and the tank ID that's on the bottom( just cut those portions out of tank). Once the dealer has this info the tank is covered. I would find another long time established cat dealer.
2011 Arctic Cat M8 SnoPro Fuel Tank Crack
I have a 2011 Arctic Cat M8 that has a crack on the bottom of the fuel tank neck. The Snowmobile has always been stored indoors. What is the best way to request possible help from Arctic Cat?

I have a buddy that had the same problem and they just covered it this week
This is a safety issue and Cat should cover it.....take a pic of your mileage and pic of the tank crack and ask your dealer to submit for warranty.....I just had my 09 Z1 Turbo tank approved for replacement due to cracking around the fuel pump neck....

I guess I'm one of the unfortunate ones because none of the dealers within 100 miles from me, nor Arctic Cat directly would cover my tank. My local dealer no longer carries Cat, so I had to look at other dealers. None would give me the time of day, so I emailed Cat directly. They said there was no recalls on my VIN other than a reflash of the ECU. From talking with them, there was no recall on the newer M series gas tanks, but yet, some people here say there is a recall. Either way, I had to pay out of pocket for my tank. This all took place around a month or so ago.

I would take it to a dealer and see if they can do something. My dealers wouldn't and I went directly to Cat, and they did nothing either. I ended up getting a new tank from Eric at Racin Station. From what I understand, it's the pressure in the tank when it's stored, especially if your summers are warm. The cap doesn't vent enough and it cracks the weak part, which is the neck. I store my sled with a full tank of gas.
just had 2 done this last week one was a 10 the other was a M 7.

I also have a 09 m8. And just had my tank replaced, got it back yesterday. Arctic cat covered the tank and the labor. I did have to call a couple of dealers to find one who would help me. A good dealer will help you out.

Other Fuel Tank Options
I came across a website that has a great option for the M8 problem. Trailtank has an affordable option that will save money, might be faster, and will have more fuel capacity. www.trailtank.net (503)318-3139

Well, that tells me that the two dealers that are 2.5 hours from me, which are the closest ones, didn't want to deal with me on this. I'm bummed that my local dealer doesn't carry Cat anymore and I'm bummed even more that I can't find anyone within 2.5 hours to help me out. I guess I know who not to do business with.
