I went with a steel tank. I soldered a fill tube from another tank to the new tank (kind of a pain, I would do it again though, I think it is the right way). If you use a steel tank and solder make sure you get and use tinning paste, it will make your life much easier (now you tell me).

I thought I had pics of me working on the gas tank. Installing filler tube, undercoating entire tank, rubber strips for the straps and where the tank touches the frame (hopefiully keep squeeks and rattles to a minimum) But I can't find them???
