Where do I get a good fuel cell?

I just wanted to get some recommendations on fuel cells to replace my rusty gas tank. Plastic versus aluminum. Where to order one from.

By the way it is for a 76 F100 Explorer if that makes any difference.

I gave a $150 for a 32 gallon fuel cell at speedway motors. It was in my truck for 10 years & never had a problem with it beside forgetting to check my fuel once or twice. Lol

It sounds like you're looking for a typical gas tank/fuel tank.

As a matter of accuracy (and street cred!), the term fuel cell refers to a unit typically used for competition and is lined with a rubber safety bladder and filled with a a foam-like material to prevent sloshing.

A fuel tank is low-cost... around $150 to $200 or so for these trucks. A fuel cell starts at around $700.
