We own a 2004 Rinker 342.  Does anyone know what materials the gas tanks are made from?  I heard steel, aluminum and something else but don't recall.  I am still looking through all my old materials but nothing yet.  Help????

FWIW, any Rinkers I have seen all have aluminum tanks, but I have never been aboard a cruiser.

99% of all rinkers use aluminium tanks.  there are a select few that use a steel and the one 1992 boat that uses plastic.  I really hope you don't have to replace yours or anyone for that matter.  That is NOT an easy process.
