My 1978 E-27 tank was aluminum. Now it is a 3 gallon plastic can until I create a more permanent solution.

A few years back I replaced my original 1973 E27 gas tank. It still had the reddish paint that matched the Atomic 4 engine on it. It was steel and I had a new aluminum one made.

My 1976 e27 (wheel steering split cockpit design) fuel tank is constructed out of aluminum.
