In this area , with it's reliance on 'road salt' during the winter, you can
count on replacing your gas tank usually within 10 years.
Just had to replace the tank on my 1995 Plymouth Voyager this fall.

Probably never occured to the boat owner that the fuel tank might need
replacing. How often do we ever replace fuel tanks in the family car,
pickup,
or other motorized conveyance?
