also: you need some Porsche anti-freeze. The more stuff you get out of the way for the tank the better, be carefull of the temp sensor. I actually removed the whole mount of the tank (with the tank still attached) rather than taking the tank off the mount.

I know I had to pay a premium...but the car is a daily driver and I had to have it ready the very next day. I didnt have the luxury of running around, buying the parts and doing alone...the car was leaking on Friday and I needed it to be running by Monday...no other choice.
