Aluminum Tank for SVO or Bio Diesel

[AndrewKing]

HI All,



I am looking to add an aux fuel tank to my truck and I am thinking about using an aluminum tank since it would be rust free and look good too BUT I am also thinking of running Bio or SVO in the near future... . My question is... is an aluminum tank safe for Bio or SVO?... . Seems like I read somewhere that Bio or SVO reacts with aluminum in a bad way or is this a myth?



Thanks

Andrew

I've run two different aluminum tanks with both Bio and SVO. I didn't experience any problems.
