A friend of my Cousin is a former aircraft mechanic, as well as many other talents in the automotive field. He perused a few articles and replaced the tank for $250.00. I bought him the Cable Hose Clamp Pliers as well. He was very meticulous about it, and did still have some grief, but prevailed. This wasn't the first time the tank had been replaced, and he noted that the Oil Filler Tube in the engine compartment side had silicone on it. Good thing no bits came off!. The tank has "Geiger Technik 996 106 047 08" on it.
So the whole job cost me ~$760.00 all in with new cap, level sensor, tank (of course) and a gallon of antifreeze.
