Need a new tank looking for input poly or aluminum. And wheres the best place to get one reasonable. Just bought new rear tires and rims so buggy budget is about gone for the month.

Try www.summitracing .com

If you decide to go with a poly tank DO NOT get the aviation or flat style lid. They leak water in and gas out. Get a tank with a raised neck lid, keeps the water and dirt out.

i don't know if I'd use a round poly tank like is usually offered for buggies.
Never seen it happen but have heard of them rupturing on a nasty flip or barrel roll........ :o

Looked at some 15 gal aluminum ones on summit 30x12x5 I think mounting it low behind seats and covering top with diamond plate to hide it with a raised filler neck should look cool plus keep weight as low as possible.

It might be a little expensive.. but here is the tank I wish I bought. Round aluminum with the built in Gas Gauge. It SUCKS to run out of gas...
