Gas tank questions

If you had to replace the gas tank on your rig, would you go plastic or metal?
I can also go 15 or 20 gal, I think I was the 15 because it's easier to put a skid under.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would personally go plastic and 20 gallon, thats whats in my heep and the Kilby skid protects it nicely. Unless you are thinking fuel cell instead

Go with a fuel cell you will gain 6-10 inches of clearance in the back off you jeep

I got a stock 1 out of a 04 its a 18 gal I could only get 16 gal in it then again i didnt want to run out not bad condition the stock skid also if you want it shoot me a pm a very good deal

Meg : I think Id stick with steel if it was new or in good condition. Im nervous about the static slosh of a plastic tank. I know every mall crawler has them and do they crush as well as a steel tank. You know I mean take a hit. I got a 15gal. out of a Cj. The skid can go with it. Im not going to have it under there anymore. Interested ? FjR68

I like plastic tanks. No rust to deal with and if you run a stock skid and take a hit, when you drop the skid/tank to bang it out, the tank goes back to normal. On my YJ, I can't run a cell, as I drive around with the wife and kids in tow. Unless you're going to run really nasty trails, I'd rather have the seat space and leave the tank under with a good skid.

OEM plastic 20gal. Both Gen-Right and Kilby make skids for them.

As I said on FB, I have one for you, no skid though.

The TJ skid will not fit her CJ.

Yea, sorry I'm a Jeep ******. Mental note for all, if its a build type question it's probably the CJ, if it's a looking pretty or fun extras it's either the TJ or the CJ, but if its an emergency it's the TJ, that's my only driving Jeep.

So, it's the CJ that needs the tank and skid?

The CJ does not drive yet, I got it fairly cheap and have put a ton of work into it. It will be nice when I can actually drive it. I think you have more than one driving vehicle.
