The stainless internal fuel tank on my Ribcraft has died and I'm looking to replace it. Until I have the old tank out and have measured up more carefully I'm not sure what will fit the space, but meanwhile I have seen these polyethylene tanks by Osculati (Italian) which look potentially promising...
Here's the link:

I've read previous posts on fuel tank replacement and seen the various debates / recommendations on stainless / ali and plastic.. seems like a lot of reasoning behind many of the points presented.
Has anyone used these Osculati crosslinked polyethylene tanks (designed for petrol) before?
Are they any good.
I presume the new fuel tank irrespective of material should be bedded in foam when installed. Is there a particular make / type of foam to be used for this purpose? If its a plastic tank how should it be grounded / earthed if at all?
Cheers in advance for the advice
