You can't tell me every new part you fit at work is right first time.
Why would you be thinking a brand new petrol tank was faulty. Pattern parts are made for nearly every vehicle on the road including all the prestige cars.My friend has a BMW X5 and has recently had some repairs done using pattern parts with no problems.
How many of our Saffs, Escos,3 doors etc have got pattern parts fitted to them when the old original ones have become faulty, loads of them have I bet.Alternators, starter motors, power steering racks, track rods etc etc.
