There isn't a big weight difference and the plastic ones hold more. 98 cars have metal gas tanks still. I believe it is 99 and newer that got the plastic ones. IF you have the metal one I belive youre better off just keeping it unless you have a problem with it. The pump and wiring are different and not worth it IMO
