My stainless diesel tank is close to EOL (leaking at the welds) and a plastic tank is a more economical option than repair or a stainless replacement. I'm looking at Diablo "smart" tanks and wondered if anyone has experiences with them, either positive or negative. They use the same tanks for all applications (water, holding tank, fuel) with different fitting plates. Force 4 Diablo Smart Tanks | Force 4 Chandlery

I will be ordering unseen so it is difficult to evaluate quality. Concerns/questions are:

- How well the interchangeable plates seal. It will be on a sailing boat and the fuel level will be higher than plate when the tank is full and on starboard tack.
