Perhaps when Joe Santana hears back from the Ebay vendor, we will know more.
Personally I am a huge fan of stainless and am presuming this unit is medium gauge steel, but given that's what our cars came with originally and the obvious cost difference to go to stainless, this might be a viable alternative for those not wanting to 'spend the wad'.
And, as an aside, and at the risk of asking an already answered query, do we know what grade of stainless Restoration Garages tanks are constructed from?? Most folks think of stainless as non-rusting, but there are literally dozens of grades of stainless out there and anything less than 316 will have some carbon in it and, while it will last a lot longer than steel, will corrode over time with road salt and ocean air, etc. Given that most nowadays-Packards are 'sunny day' cars and garaged the rest of the time, a steel tank WOULD probably outlast us as well. Great to have the options though.
