Check with Ronco. Great to do business with. Polyethylene works fine for diesel as well as gasoline or water. http://www.ronco-plastics.com

Ronco, can they be used for diesel? Are they cross

cross linked polyethylene? I remember reading something about only using Ronco for water/holding.

Plastic fuel tank

Try Tempo also. Note that with diesel and cross-linked polyethylene there will be a small bit of expansion the first time fuel is put into the tank (~3%). Just put a new one in my Cal 29, works like a charm although I miss the sight glass on the old tank but not the duct tape :)

Ronco makes only water and waste tanks

They're made of linear poly, which cannot be used for fuel holding. Plastic fuel tanks must be made from cross linked poly and--unlike metal tanks--must also be CG certified as fuel tanks. Any plastic fuel tank that can hold gasoline can also hold diesel.
