What's the best material for new diesel fuel tanks? For cost purposes, let's assume installation costs are the same for all types and the Poly tanks cost $1500, Black Steel cost $2500, Aluminum tanks cost $4500 and Stainless Steel tanks cost $5500.
Let's assume vessels of common size here....in the 25-45 ft range. Tankage of 1000 gallons or less.
Are poly tanks as durable and safe as the metal tanks? Is there a reduction in resale value if poly is used instead of metal?
Which would you choose and why?
