Removed my OEM aluminum diesel tank now 35 years old. Exterior looks great but interior shows a number of corrosion issues. Had to remove fittings and saw off the inlet fitting to get the tank out of the locker so was committed when I did that to getting a new tank. That said, the hidden corrosion on the interior tells me an incident was in the making so replacing now is a good idea.
Have replacement aluminum tank made by Luther's in Bristol RI who by all accounts are the "go to" source for a tank made right in all respects. Not the least expensive by any stretch but by far the best value or so they say J Question is replacing the hoses. West carries the Shields brand, Defender the Trident at a cost differential of some 20% less in price. Specifications are essentially identical. Any reason to not embrace the lower price??
