I would not replace with a used. These tanks degrade due to engine heat. They all fail eventually. It's a matter of when. I just replaced mine at 79k. Many don't last that long.

Thanks! I see I have a steeper learning curve on the water cooled cars than I thought. Thanks for the advice.

Time consuming, but yes, it is a DIY project.

model year 99 is easier than my model year 03. 99 has smaller tank and goes in without lowering the engine and less hassle . I think there's a You tube video and write ups on Rennlist.org or else where. Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in. I would say it's a DYI. with moderate skills.
