LawyerBilly,
I had to replace my old 27 gal Tempo last year (believed to be ethenol degradation leak) and used the 24 Gal White Moeller tank. This tank has several advantages in my mind: cost, ethenol design, the fuel fill neck configuration, ease of installation, etc. The most important to me (beyond the ethenol design) was the fuel fill neck layout which provides more than adequate clearance out from the RPS and makes fill-ups easy, as opposed to the old Tempo where it was a battle to get the nozzle under the RPS. The gas gage (float style) is in the cap, so all I have to do is turn around & look down and know how much gas I have left. There's no wires to run or electrical issues to deal with. Also, the white tank blends in so much better than the old red tempo, so the onlooker's eye is drawn to other features, like teak, etc. After my spring haul out/service/ clean up I'll be posting new pictures to our personal page, which will include the white tank. I really like it. Good Luck!
