If you decide to get one, aluminum is the way to go. I put a plastic fuel cell in a 68 Mustang for a man who was concerned about safety when his toddler daughter was riding in the car, and we had to go back in and redesign things. The tank would warp in hot weather, so we ended up fabricating a sheet metal box to support it. Fuel capacity isn't a problem as long as you've got enough room to mount a big enough tank.
