Price of Aluminum Tanks question

[racer17m]

I have heard some rumors that the price of aluminum tanks will be going up considerably this summer. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this rumor? I was told the price of aluminum was going up causing the higher cost for tanks.....

I've heard this as well.  Steel tanks jumped considerably recently as well.  I'm glad I purchased my new tanks last summer rather than waiting until this year.

  I was told by my LDS that the tanks they currently have (purchased last year) will be sold at last years prices.  Any tanks ordered in 2007, will be more.

I am actually suprised it has taken this long.  Raw metals have been dramaticaly increasing in price over the past 4 years.
