I have had a couple of these done . I think one key is a good solid tank with out numerous previous repairs. I suppose the brass fatigues after being heated numerous times. The first one I had done leaked twice.The last talk was an old take off and so far has been trouble free. I couldnt stomach the cost of a stainless and truthfully don't like the look,then again it would be hard to spray paint a 400 dollar part.
One other thing is if you look around some of the tanks have the filler cap on opposite sides.if you find one with a rear filler cap when it is turned around will be just right for your car.
Have the repair shop not paint it so you can use duplicolor gloss black engine paint. Also don't powder coat as it will bead the solder.
A stock tank cleared my csx4000 nicely as well.
good luck,Tim
