Poly vs. Steel Blazer Tank?

[muddpile]

I am going to be purchasing a rear tank kit this week, and I see they offer a poly and a steel. Why are there two different options (same price) and which one is "better". Is there a reason for using one or the other? Also, who has the best deal on one with the straps and sending unit right now? The shipping is going to kill me regardless, so I might as well pinch my pennies.... I have an Athey's catalog that has it listed at $235, but I don't know how current it is.

Thanks!

poly will never rust we have replaced several rusty tanks this winter at my brothers shop all we ever replace on poly tanks is the metal parts on or around them just my 2 cents Mike

I was thinking the same thing. Another thought was ethanol. Someone once told me that once they start adding that in greater amounts to fuel, that it can corrode a gas tank. Poly sounds good on that, but it scares me for all my other cars....
