You ignore the point-you couldn't keep yourself from latching on to what others were reporting because you wanted to be able to say the tank is crap when your personal experience was your tank was fine after 175,000 miles. The appropriate post would have been to post that has not been your experience.

You also took what I said out of context. I said near death and not complete recovery which means the integrity of the tank is likely compromised by the excessive heat not that it will fail but that such circumstances shorten the life---overheating does that quickly, that is not a design or mfg. shortcoming. There are dash lights and temp gauge and other pre damage warnings that should be immediately heeded.
