Fuel Tanks?

All the under bed tanks are now either steel (zinc) or stainless. Is there a reason aluminum is no longer an option?

Re: Fuel Tanks?

I have been waiting to order one . Yesterday I was looking for the one I had picked out and the aluminum one was no longer offered? I checked several other vendors and they didn't offer them either??

Re: Fuel Tanks?

Have a look at this steel one. I have the older version of this one that I had powder coated and I sealed the inside.

Re: Fuel Tanks?

Unless you are stuck on having a aluminum $$$$ gas tank you might want to look at a 69 and 70 Mustang OEM tank, they fit very good on a AD rear mounted.
