    Coolant tank burst

    Just got these back from hydro dipping and powder coating....looked great.
    Took my first ride all vitals were great and this happened out of nowhere.......


    before:




    after:



    I started doing some research and this is apparently a common problem with the LFP coolant tanks....They expand and contract and the welds fail from fatigue. So I ordered a canton and its off to powder coating again! The mess under the hood is what pisses me off the most!! Im back to a plastic tank for the time being. Im sure the powder coating heating sped up the failure but it was bound to happen anyways...... all I can say is I was happy I was couple miles away from home.
