I just installed a two piece toto drake. I filled the tank
2 test flushes and a crack appeared on left hand side of the tank.
If I over tightened I would think the crack would be the bottom tank bolts not the side.
Am I a dreamer thinking it might be defective? If not I'll man up and buy a replacement and chalk it up to a teaching moment.
Anyone's thoughts?

And while good, Toto Drake tank QC isn't perfect. I got a bad one a few years ago that was somewhat twisted. It wasn't obvious until I tried to put its matching lid on and it rocked. A few measurements later I concluded the tank was somewhat diamond shaped rather than square. The other two tanks I installed, and the replacement were square on. The twisted tank worked fine, no leaks, but I wanted a flush tank lid that didn't rock.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
