Re: Where did you buy your blazer tank??

I like the poly tanks for this conversion and we sell both. Reason is, ease of instalation and they will hold up for many years longer than it's steel counterpart. They are manufactured with cross linked polyethylene that is about 1/4" to 3/8" thick. Coming from a plastics background let me tell you that is some tough stuff. Nothing at all flimsy about them. They also are made in America and are DOT certified. They will withstand a greater impact than the steel tank and bounce back without hardly a mark at the impact point. The steel tanks will both dent and corrode as whitnessed in the original steel tanks in just about all of the vehicles out there. Has anyone seen what the ethinal gas blends do to the tanks, carbereters and fuel lines. Polyethylene is imperviouse to that. Just some more things to think about. WES
