We had to replace our fuel tanks shortly after buying our Willard 30 w "black iron" tanks. I did a lot of asking around and only one material was recommended much more than any other. Aluminum. We had aluminum tanks made and did the dirty R&R job along w installing a new engine. Had to take the old Perkins out anyway to get at the tanks.

If I had it to do over again I'd give plastic much more consideration.
