With the fuel cell now mounted high in the rear of the car,it is easy for it to drain out if a line is cracked open.A fuel shut off makes it easier,and safer to service a pump or regulator,or to just drain the system.I like the 10 gal. because it is easier to add a little weight if you need to.The tanks with the tabs welded on them are simpler to mount also.
They all stopped putting tabs on them now, they were not meant to be mounted with the tabs, but people were mounting them that way and the tabs were breaking off creating a dangerous situation. Should mount with hold down straps.
