We used the poly tanks for a year or two.

The gas molecules actually make heir way through the plastic and you end up with a bilge full of fumes. They are completely legal but I didn't care for them and wouldn't have used them had I known that going in...

Definitely stick with aluminum. Don't foam it in place. Baffle the heck out of it.Jay Perrotta

How much would it cost to install a new aluminum tank?

Have to call Julie at pacific on that one to get a quote. I',m sure they would have to do the tank replacement OR recommend a shop to do the work to keep the life time guarantee on the boat.

I copied and pasted a reply from Jay on another thread above. I don't think I did it right. Sorry
