Aluminum or Plastic aux fuel tank

I have been shopping for an aux in bed fuel tank for a RAM 3500 long bed.

I am down to an aluminum combo tank/toolbox 60 gallon gravity filled or a Titan plastic (or whatever material they use) 50 gallons top fill/pump filled.

Any reason to pick one over the other?

I would agree with AL over Plastic as well however caution.

Heaven forbid there is an accident and fire... Liability attorneys love aux fuel tanks. .

We are talking Diesel not Gas.

I use a pump to transfer system, the capless fuel tank can leak with the gravity fill.
