So, instead of:

     //adds an element as the last entry
     inline void push_back(T const& elem) {
         node_ptr new_node=new node(elem);
         ...
     }

It should be:

     //adds an element as the last entry
     inline void push_back(T const& elem) {
         node::allocator node_allocator;
         node_ptr new_node=node_allocator(1);
         new_node->_elem=elem;
         ...
     }

at least, AFAICT.  Haven't tested.
