I have a leak in the top of the gas tank on my 95 GMC K1500 pickup. It's a 34 gallon steel tank and is likely original. I can order a replacement steel tank from Rockauto, which has brands such as Platinum Pro, Spectra, and Dorman around $100. I'm not sure on the quality of these versus the OEM tank. I've also seen some aftermarket polyethylene tanks for around $200.
I'm wondering if I should just get a steel tank and spray it down with rubberized undercoating to protect it, or pay the extra $100 for a poly tank that won't rust. Any preferred brands for either type of tank or ones I should stay away from? Thanks.
