I just think ahead about how hard I would be on myself if my truck caught on fire one day because I was too "thrifty" to spend $200 to $350 for a new one.

That's what I did,the exterior of my original tank was perfect,the inside was another matter.
Dropped the cash on a new tank and it leaked at the filler neck. big_eek
