As many of you know I am ditching the V6 - three speed manual tranny for a built up/bored 350 - 4 bolt (400+ hp) 4 speed, etc, etc.
My latest plan is to replace the stock gas tank (which is seriously dented-in) with a FUEL CELL which will be mounted in the bed along with a fuel delivery system (electric fuel pump, filter, etc) and battery box.
For my application (street/strip).... which type of FUEL CELL would be best to use? A vinyl or aluminum one?
I have been looking at them on eBay and noticed that some of the vinyl fuel cells have "foam" inside them. Does the "foam" make those fuel cells more desireable than the ones that do not have "foam"??? Or is an aluminum fuel cell better to use than the vinyl ones??? I have seem BOTH of them used... so what would you recommend??? Thanks.

if you can get to the fuel cap vinyl is ok, such as in the bed but if you are going to be under the bed use aluminum the fittings on vinyl may have to be tighten every once in a while, and you have to go thru the cap to backup the nut
