I've got a Lite tank. Although vaguely aware of a recall, I love the tank so much that I've been procrastinating getting rid of it. I've had no problems and being able to see the fluid level is vastly superior to guessing how much you have in a tank.

There are other manufacturers out there that make glass fibre tanks, so at least the latter point is void. As a bonus, you get to use something that is safe. If you read the recall report from back then, you'll be amazed at just how much they got wrong.

Here's another manufacturer who gets it right:

As for the report, I read it yesterday, but I can't find it right now. I think it was linked from some sail forum or something.
