I dropped my super Scorpio fuel tank from 6" on the garage concrete flor and the tank split open ,good the crack was the glue sim so was easy fix ,and just last year in Kentucky jets I witness two fuel tanks crack open doing refueling ! The biggest reason wy the jet companies using the Kevlar fuel tanks -the easy to make and no need to do expensive injection mold.
