3208 CAT Diesel in my case..

anyone ever needed to and just did so as a preventative measure, boil out (right wording ?) their fuel tanks? My coach sat for quite a while during its life (1991 model but only 36K miles) so I'd rather do a preventative check rather than have it gum up on a long trip ( TX to CA) in several months. Are these tanks (Regency) metal or plastic or...? Anyone ever replace them and what material did you use? Or even increase capacity..

Can any of you 3208 Regency folks tell me the fuel tank capacity I have..Gillig chassis..? tnx..
