We switched over to the fuel cell quite a few years ago, and prefer this style of tank. With the tail tank we found that the pickup starts sucking air when you still had almost a gallon of fuel left in the tank. With this style, we can be down to less than a cup full, and it still picks it up. Net result is we can carry 7 lbs. less fuel with us going into any race.

The tank itself is nearly indestructible, it's positioned in the cage at a point that's extremely hard to get to on impact, and it carries an SFI rating. We feel its as safe as a tail tank/bladder combination, and are very comfortable running it.
