Aluminum or plastic fuel cell ?

Stocker project going to the chassis shop to have a rollcage and 5 gallon fuel cell installed. Should I use an aluminum or plastic cell? Any input appreciated.

From all that I have read on here from racers, most have indicated aluminum. Like you, I just dropped off mine at the chassis shop and gave the builder an aluminum cell.

You have to watch out for this on aluminum cells also, some do not have the bungs welded in.
Check before you buy, but still buy aluminum.
