Does anyone know the difference between a steel or plastic tank pump?I have been taking quotes and that is always a question.

Part of the pump is plastic. I have no ideal on the BPA. I do know this is a heavy duty item. I had a cheaper one from Sams That cost about $20.00 that broke in a few months. It had a glass in side this one does not.

Not sure if this is a question about the tanks, but if so, both are stainless steel. The cold is 1.5L and the hot is 1L.

I'm sure it's steel. That's the normal material for such a tank. If it were stainless or aluminum, I'm sure they would make it known.

The pump is plastic. It seems to be of somewhat better quality than plastic pumps on sprayers costing much less. I am pleased with the purchase and it is much more dependable than the many "throw away" sprayers that I have previously passed.

I prefer plastic because I don't have a pump to keep the air-filled tires properly filled. The air-filled would probably be a little more easy to pull, but if they needed to be reinflated I would have to take it somewhere or rely on someone else to do it.

The water tank is plastic! Truthfully I have never heard of a stainless one!!

This comes in a glass bottle with a plastic pump. Much better configuration than more expensive brand as I have knocked that one over more than once. As for quality between the two, I can't tell the difference.

Absolutely no difference. Check out the little giant pump website. The spec sheet for each of these models links to the same exact pdf - a generic pdf for the VCMA-20 series. If you look at the chart for each model, all specs and performance are the same.http://www.franklin-electric.com/media/documents/995125.pdf

Well the exact difference is one is carbon fiber and the other is aluminum. Aluminum tanks are much cheaper than carbon fiber so may be better for a player without the $ for carbon fiber. Aluminum is also heavier, so you see them more with woodsball players who run a remote. Generally they only fill to 3000psi so you get "less" air each fill. If you're starting out, on a budget, running a remote, etc. Aluminum may be a good choice. If you're going to be playing speedball competitively, its more $ for a lighter, longer lasting carbon fiber tank.

My new tank seemed to be made of a slightly different type of plastic than the original and it has been going all summer so far without leaking.

I don't think there is any difference. I checked both tanks and they look the same. The tank I have is rounded in the front which wraps around to the mid sides of the tank where it is then flat. Only difference may be the model number.

The answer that there giving out is true about extra metal fitting is how the pump unit hooks up to yamaha lower out drives / and or outboard motors.best way to protect your equipment, there again carrying a small measuring container that shows mils /ounces to verify so your for sure amounts are currently correct to manufacture equivalent measures in every lower unit your trying to protect. Made mine into a kit it goes with me every time im boating just in case I need to check or change it, best of luck happy boating

While I don't know the exact kind of plastic, it is really sturdy. (It's not just the kind of plastic that a disposable soap dispenser is made out of.) We love these pumps.

No, the cast iron pump and stainless steel pump are equal. The price of the stainless steel pump was pennies more when I bought it.

It is heavy. Not plastic. My pump does not work. Looking for replacement. Any ideas where I can get one?

Depends on the size of the tank. Pumps are rated for water pressure, which is dependant on how many gallons your tank holds. Error on the side of more power and make sure you have a control valve and the mechanism to keep the water from flowing back down to your pump.
