Just a follow-up, I've now done this repair on more than 99, with complete long term success. While not simple, it's not a difficult repair either - just be sure you've got fuel rated epoxy (lesser products don't last long), and the patience to work under the car and on-top the gas tank.
It's a good feeling to be able to save the tank and some sizeable $$. Nothing wrong with replacing the tank either - but my replacement tank failed the exact same way before I did this repair. I believe the temperatures in AZ may have hastened the failure of the old tank design - no problems with the epoxyed route.
Good luck,,
Scott
