Blimey woky, that doesn't sound good!

Don't know if that's normal but sure it shouldn't be. Have you spoken to GSF about it?

It might be a bit of a grey area but I'm guessing if tank is 'faulty' then you could have some entitlement to some compensation for your time for replacing/re-fitting or maybe they'd pay for someone to do it.

It's amazing what a solicitors letter can do should you ever need to go that far!

Tank

Did you change the filler neck?  There should be no paint inside the tank.  Is it a GTI?
