    While I agree that the Snake River system is a beautiful thing to behold,
    including the metal tank adaptive parts, the bottom line is that it's
    expensive. Personally I'd love their setup for both my water tank and
    diesel tank. But when I look at the Tempo package (gauge + sending unit)
    for under $45, there's no contest.
