Mark, all this happened quite a while ago so I'm not positive, but aluminum tanks tend to crack in accidents so the Gov't made them illegal to use in passenger cars after a certain date.... for the early Panteras, the gov't made Ford wrap them in 2 plies of fiberglas to forestall the supposed cracking! Needless to say, few if any cracked.
Yep this tank I have has the fiberglass wrap. Thanks
