Under Bed Fuel Cell

Hi, does anyone know where I could purchase a new fuel tank for a 1951 F1 that will install (custom or not) under the bed of this truck. Someone told me not to purchase an aluminum tank because of today's fuels. Any advice would help. Thanks. Mmalz6

Do a search for bed fuel tanks here. Many here have used Mustang fuel tank and there are probably others that will work as well. I installed a Jeep Comanche tank in mine (pictures on my Built thread).

I have no idea why an aluminum tank would be a bad idea.

Lots of places sell these tanks.
