I have built 6 fiberglass fuel tanks in the past. I used fiber glass on each side of a 1/2 urethane foam core.
Question. What is the pro's and con's of using CF instead of the heavier fiberglass ?
I have been very happy with the FG tanks except for the weight. I know I can make a lighter weight tank from CB, but what are the negatives other than cost?
