I agree with Jon.

At LRI training at HQ in early Jan, one of our fellow CMP LRI who works at an Army Testing Lab hired an intern to test the most common plastic tanks available to FIRST teams. The results for the black Clippard tanks was good. The white Clippard tanks (See the Manual for the exact p/n) were ruled illegal after several failures during the season and the resultant testing this summer at the Army Lab. And if I remember right, the performance deteriorated when damaged, nicked or abused, even slightly.

Kudos for thinking outside the box, but you won't see one being used on my team or at my event. Period. End of story.
