Aluminum or plastic fuel tank

[Ted Stryker]

I'm needing a different tank... What's Your opinion of the best in terms of durability, leaks, fuel preservation etc..?

Aluminum won't deform or collapse, plastic won't corrode.

The nice thing about aluminum for fuel tanks is that a good tank company can usually make any shape you want, not the case with plastic tanks. As far as structural integrity I think I would vote for aluminum.

Look at Jazz products for plastic fuel tanks. I have one in my Mirage that has worked well.

I've used Jaz tanks for years with no issues...They make drag tanks with bottom knock outs that are sure nice. I always ordered my clear and with OUT foam...

I have a JAZ aluminum tank now, and the quality is nice...

I use the polymer ones.. Seems to not sweat as bad causing condensate.. Might just be my imagination..I even have a 2 1/2 gal clear Pro Stock Car Jaz tank attached to my run stand feeding both a holley red for carb motors and a Bosch Drag motor pump for the fuelies...

I've had aluminum tanks crack at the welds more times than I can remember. That was under extreme conditions, but I'll never buy one again.

plastic..................... with 2days fuels condensation is the enemy.... aluminum sweats to much....... may not be bad in a small tank for drags, but that is it 4 me.... plastic....
