Its a lot easier to change out the 3 dollar filter once a year. Plus my tank is so covered in oil/grease residue from almost 40 years of driving there is not a single spec of rust on the outside.
I agree if your original tank is useable it is the best way, however, how it looks on the outside can be very deceiving. My original tank looked great on the outside having always been in a dry climate, however, the inside was absolutely full of rust. Moisture had gotten in the tank.
