Which Tank
I am needing to replace my rear mount gas tank in my '67 pickup. The one I have now is steel. Should I stick with the steel or go to the poly version of the "blazer/burban" tanks? I just don't know if there is benefit of having one over the other. Thanks

Re: Which Tank
STEEL IS REAL!
It might be cheaper but poly is gonna break down due to UV, etc

Re: Which Tank
Uv is only gonna be a factor if you put mirrors under the truck or roll it.I used a poly tank since that was all they were making at the time.It's been there for about 14 years with no problem.

Re: Which Tank
I used a steel one. If there's nothing wrong with the one it has now... why spend more $?
