A friend is looking into making copies of the South
African aux fuel tank Eric Abercrombie brought into
the country a few years ago.  The two options we're
looking at are welded marine grade aluminum and molded
marine grade thermal plastic.  The aluminum tank is
looking to cost $425-450 and the plastic tank is
$350-375.


Both should handle any kind of fuel including
biodiesel.


I'm turned on by the thermal plastic for a variety of
reasons: weight, deformability and the option to use
it as a water tank.  A guy or gal could even run one
on the left side for an absurd amount of fuel/water
storage.


I'd like to get some feedback on the options, but
please base it on some kind of fact.


Tom
