I was -><- this close to taking it to the dump yesterday, but I refrained arguing that someone out there might need it... :) It *might* have a smaller capacity - they did enlarge that at some point, but I think it'll fit either way.. If you'd like it, no reasonable offer would be refused (case of beer, for example :) ... As for installing it, it's quite easy to do yourself if you've got some time and some patience - you just gotta jack up the rear of the car, drain the fuel, remove the pumps, and undo a pair of nuts, then lower the tank out. I took this one out in about 45mins, and it wasn't even empty at the time...
