    Plastic won't rust again.... The biggest problems with CJs is the skid plate traps dirt/moisture between the tank and skid, causing the tank to rust. When I first did mine, I replaced the skid, which was rusty and dented, and put in a plastic tank. It worked fine. Later when I went to fuel injection, I had Trail Quest build me a 22 gallon replacement, with a welded on .120" diamond plate skid and internal GM style fuel pump. They built it so it centers in the frame, and it's lifted 1" since I have a body lift, it doesn't hang much lower than stock. It weighs about 80 lbs empty, but so far, I haven't been able to dent it. It does have some good scrapes though. I don't see that they still make tanks on their web site, but you may give them a call.

    I had my tank made for my 79CJ at Areo tank in San Bernardino, CA www.aerotanks.com

    Replaced my 15 gal with a 26 steel tank with the skidplate welded to the bottom of the tank. Fits great, doesn't hang down too bad and now I have 26 gallons of fuel.
