Maybe he meant "USA made" as in the city of USA, Japan, since there are no periods after each letter like in U.S.A.

The sticker they put on the box is made in the USA.

Here's the pics of the other box sticker and the tank.

No disrespect intended -- just pointing out that there were vehicles made in Canada and they were of the highest quality. I agree -- I have no issues with Canadian products ... except for the snow, make an effort to keep that. LOL TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

I have no problem with Canadian made products. Heck, both my paternal grandparents were made there. I have a Spectra tank in mar car. Great quality at a very fair price.

I do have a problem with putting a &quot;Made in USA&quot; sticker on a product that wasn't made in the USA (with or without the ...) and marketing it as made in USA.

Maybe it's a result of NAFTA that they can call it USA made if it is made in North America?

The best tank made. We use these a lot at the shop.Better then a beat up nos tank. I like to put liner in new tanks if the car is going to be a show car. They will rust when they sit for years. The liner will prevent the rusting.

And none taken. Yes, I'd appreciate them more if they'd keep the cold fronts too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

You got it. A few here and on CRG thought this was about USA vs. Canada. Not so. I had maternal Canadian made grandparents. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I love the tank so far. I had a bad experience with lining a new custom Harley tank years ago, so I don't go down that road unless I have too. Mine will be driven and kept full when stored, so I don't think it will be an issue.

If you're looking for the Spectra Canadian (a.k.a. &quot;US made&quot tanks, rockauto usually has them the cheapest and charges the least for shipping. I've bought them recently for my Gramma's 75 Firbrd and my 95 Diesel suburban. Very satisfied with them.
