So far I have come up with info that says fluorinated poly tanks are more suitable for fuel use by virtue of lessened migration. Here is a source: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24708 At $23.71 they are twice as much as the standard tanks but may be worth it in durability. I saw first hand some dandy thick wall jobbers today but they were rectangular (sob) and would not fit. Opinions?

A lot of he tanks sold by US Plastics are made by Flambeau. These guys also have some nice tanks, though they're a bit more expensive: -Dana At 06:14 PM 11/24/2009, robert bean wrote: > >Kolbers, (still with plastic tanks) I have OLD tanks and have been >researching a source for new ones. >So far I have come up with info that says fluorinated poly tanks are more >suitable for fuel use by virtue of lessened migration. > >Here is a source: >http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=24708 > >At $23.71 they are twice as much as the standard tanks but may be worth it >in durability.
