A year ago, we replaced our steel tanks with an aluminium tank and a stainless steel tank.<\/p>\n
Since then, we’ve traveled through very different climatic regions and driven on countless gravel roads totalling more than 15,000 km.<\/p>\n
Now that a year has passed, we’re taking a look at how the tanks have performed.<\/p>\n
First, the stainless steel tank: aside from a few tiny scratches, it still looks almost brand new.<\/p>\n
As for the aluminum tank, you can see that the material is softer, as the tank has a small dent and the scratches are a bit deeper. You can also clearly see how the tank forms its protective layer and takes on a matte appearance.<\/p>\n
But overall, both are still in great condition and performing as expected.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019d ask me at this point, what I\u2019d choose between painted steel, aluminium or stainless steel, I\u2019d have the following answer for you:<\/p>\n
– If you have to watch your budget, painted steel tanks are still a good option. But you have to consider that in the future it might be necessary to repaint them, which adds an additional cost.<\/p>\n
– Personally, I think the aluminium tank is a very good option. It offers a great balance between pricing, weight and resistance.<\/p>\n
– However, if you want the toughest material and extra weight and pricing are not an issue, then stainless steel tanks are the way to go.<\/p>\n
Which tank would be the right one for you?<\/p>\n
