Have all of the exploding tanks been the white clippard tanks from 2013 and before? Are these the same tank in a new colour?
I also feel safer around tanks with the push-in fitting standard. One less source of failure. |
I believe the the only tanks that had an issue were from 2013. Clippard offered to replace them for free last year with a different model after the issue was found.

If anything FIRST should ban the usage of the white threaded tanks since they obviously still have the casing cracking at the threads from over tightening and/or poor manufacturing and can easily be replaced with the new push to connect model.
I have yet to hear of a failure with the new black "push to connect" storage tanks which are much better, but you should still locate them in a relatively safe spot on your robot to prevent damage to them.
