Well my tank was supposedly shipped about 2 weeks ago. No tracking number, just like the post above. He won't answer or return my calls or texts. I built the first tank myself and it held air for weeks. I should have built this one too. What a nightmare for everybody. How can anybody do business like this? If you're thinking about using Evan Johnson, you might want to read all of these posts.

just seeing this thread constantly being bumped is evidence that the person you are dealing with shouldn't be in this business
sorry for your loss (of time, money, and frustration) but lesson learned for the rest of VAF- hope you get your stuff back

Any contact with Evan yet? ANYONE??
I won't go into details at the moment but I too am waiting for a tank to be delivered by Evan. Parts shipped to him and tank build paid for.
I owe this tank to Mike Sears who was kind enough to help me with his (at the time not needed) fuel tank.
Now Mike needs the replacement tank that I have paid for so is there anyone out there who can "help a brother out!"???
Thanks
James
p.s. Does anyone know if Evan is OK?
Is he still in business??
If not, is there someone I can go to for a tank.
No matter what I **OWE MIKE A TANK!**.

Option maybe...
I'm not positive but doesn't Van's have QB tank replacements?

I needed a new tank this summer after a bird strike and called Vans, but no luck. They don't stock completed fuel tanks.
No idea why - it looks like there is a market need for completed fuel tanks and seems like it would be relatively easy for them to have the QB factory make a few of them up through out the year.

I heard back from Evan.
Short answer ...
Some things happened that took him out of commission for a bit.
He is working on getting tanks done now.
PLEASE, let's give him a little (more) breathing room as we all have things in life that set us back for a while.
<End of discussion>

I had a nightmare time with him. So many lies. I finally got all of my parts and my money back last month. I'm going to start building tanks. If anyone is interested send me a message.
