They were really nice welded tanks. Like any tanks, you don't have to fill them up if you don't need the weight or range. The electric pump is a backup, the engine driven pump is still there as the primary. Having the space behind the panel available to you is nice. Makes it easier to work back there and you can now mount the radio up where it is easier to see and use. If they come back I will probably buy a set.
