Why is our tank better than others?
Yes there has been a ton on engineering that went into this tank. I love doing this kinda stuff. Going over quite a few designs to try and come up with the best one. I original wanted to hide the pump in tank for a clean look but heat became an issue. The pump can generated up to 150 degs of heat pretty quickly when enclosed with no airflow. Like a trunk install. Which is where most people will be putting them. This is why i chooses to keep the pump open so it can natural dissipate heat better.
The graph below shows the heat rise of the pumps with 70f air temps. How quick will the pumps get to 150 degs in the trunk of a car during the summer? How hot does your trunk get? Well the plastic tanks are made to start soften up at 150 degs.

About cost yes these like others custom made tanks are not the cheap . It cost a fair amount of investment for mold. All the steel in it all the time it took to weld it fill it grind it. But some of the things i want to point out is the quality of construction. Our tanks are thicker construction than off the shelf 2.5 gallon tanks. There are reasons for making the tank thicker which i will get into latter.

See the weight difference? These are the same size tank.
