[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 382715, member: 3278"] Wive's tales! For one, there is a pressure relief valve in the tank. For two, the tanks are amazingly strong and can withstand alot more pressure than they are in service with. Compared to a plastic tank which turns into roughly a football shape when hot I would pick the steel tank every time. Also, the diaphragms, being at the top of the tank, are not submerged in the gasoline all the time like a fuel pump is. Pressure tanks hardly ever go bad except from age. It was an elegantly simple design. [/QUOTE]
