Re: exploding plastic storage tanks
I would tend to agree that the Pneuaire tanks were used more extensively by experienced teams which extensively researched alternative lighter options to the conventional metal tanks.

If I had to guess I would say the Clippard tanks were used 5-10x as much if not more. Had I not read threads on the Pneuaire tanks on Chief Delphi when people first started using them I probably wouldn't realize they were a "viable" option.

I would also suspect to market for small tanks such as these is relatively small outside of FRC as compared to large 1L+ metal tanks.
