Quick Buying Tips
- Always buy a tank made specifically for your year, make, and model (avoid “universal” tanks)
- Decide between plastic (lighter, rust-proof) and steel (stronger, better for classics) before shopping
- Consider buying a complete kit that includes sending unit, straps, and gaskets
- Check warranty length — quality tanks usually come with 3–5 year warranties
