Aluminum Fuel Tank ?

Aluminum Fuel Tank ?
Has anyone used a spun aluminum fuel tank from Speedway. Theirs are considerably cheaper than anyone else so I am looking for others opinions.
I know these tanks need to be mounted in the bed which I don't mind but are there any con's to these tanks being used. It would be easier to install than the under bed frame mounted type. Thanks for any info offered.

Here is the link to the fuel tank. Just curious if anyone here has used these tanks. Even if you bought from another company.

A couple of things I see that may be of concern is they disclaim right off the bat it's for of road use only. That means it's not DOT approved, for whatever reason, but I'm guessing it's because the fuel line outlet may be coming straight out the bottom with no protection from spillage. That's why modern fuel tanks have the outlet line coming out of the top.
The next issue is the outlet port is only 1/4", as opposed to 5/16" or 3/8" which would be much more desirable and more inline with OEM spec. It may or may not be a problem, but it certainly would be restrictive.
My 2c.
