That is interesting.  Did anyone measure the temp on the standard, 
plastic bottle?  I'd guess that would be the coolest of all.  (Although, 
the metal ones "look" the coolest!)  I know the metal tanks look nice, 
but if I can't see spending that much on a cosmetic upgrade (admittedly, 
a nice one) that detracts from coolant performance to boot, I'm now 
wondering if I should replace my soon-to-fail plastic tank with another 
stock one.  Anybody have any input on this?  I was actually considering 
a stainless one.  Who makes the aluminum one - I thought they were all 
stainless from DMC, PJG & Special-T...

Regarding the fuel sender, I have the DMCH one and it is FAR better than 
the stock, but it still leaks a teeny bit when my tank is filled up to 
the max, even with the new, supplied seal.  Still, I'm pretty happy with 
it and the price was fair.  I couldn't spend the extra cost for the 
'Zilla, but I hear it's good too, and uses the DMCH sender unit anyhow.  
Is this correct?  I don't wanna spread misinformation...
