Thank you for posting this, Al. I've been debating the composite vs 
aluminum tank issue for a while. My argument against the composite tank 
that the plans call for has always been, "The composites are doing just 
fine now, but you never know what they'll be adding down the road", but 
I've been leaning back toward the simplicity of the composite tank 
lately. This is a borderline case of 'fear of the unknown'. Just don't 
know what the gas companies are going to do. Borderline because Murphy's 
Law still rules.

I'm going to build an aluminum tank.
