Bigjon - next time you look at a glass see whether you can see that it is half full....not half empty. You should understand what the warranty covers, and if their product is found to be at fault such as damaging a fuel system at whateva price, then by LAW you are protected. You can take them to court if there is an issue. Most times it never gets there as it is sorted out. Your example probably has more to do with the fuel supplier than the after market tank.
If you buy from reputable suppliers they have insurance so I would suggest you read the fine print. If you buy from backyard suppliers....you deserve what you get.

I agree with one of the other posts, have it fitted by the dealer or when purchased. In these cases LR can deny, then it is up to the dealer to fix.

In other words, you give the dealer the incentive to have LR fix the problem.

Consumer courts are very time consuming and LR are geared to manage these type of complaints.

They are geared like most large companies. And geared so that if you can prove that the mod did not cause the issue, they will accept and back down. It is just many people can't be bothered taking it that far and most will back down.....they know that and use it to their advantage. Knowledge is power, and if you have it, they don't want to go down this path anymore than you do so they will come to an arrangement.
