Does Xm still need one of these aluminum inserts so the threads won't warp and leak. Had to put them on both Xp's.

If so - who is making them? I thought Advantech did but they don't seem to be on the website.

havent had a problem so far. just dont over tighten it, it will tighten by itself from vibration. just snug. but couldnt hurt to install it. martin did have a few left.

I got a pair shipped to me from DAN03REV on Snowest. Total including shipping was about 35$ i think? He supplies quite a few places apparently, and as mentioned they are cheap insurance. Plus it makes my oil tank custom lol!

Don't these new oil tanks have threads right around the spout instead of having 2 sides shaved flat? This would probably have solved the warping issues... I got one for free from Carbon Sled Parts when I ordered my can. Definitely looks cool! Lol!
