Best aftermarket saddle tanks?
Looking to replace both 20gal. tanks. Want to get the most durable, drop-in tanks available. Are all the steel replacements out there all the same or are there any to avoid? Anyone have experience with plastic tanks and how they hold up to modern fuels?

Re: Best aftermarket saddle tanks?
installed a lot of spectra premium units over the years in square body trucks and other vehicles and no problems yet .
did do a cheepy china tank for a beater s-10 pickup for a friend and it was o.k. for beater use but i would never do a cheepy tank my self .
