I replaced my tank about a year ago. I bought an OEM tank from Amazon, around $330 give or take. It had the Porsche part number so I had a good feeling it was a real oem part. As of today its all good. My original tank had a few hairline cracks which presented themselves once the car cooled down. I documented the install with many pictures for my records if I ever decided to sell the car. The install was a bastard of a job. I have done 90% of the repairs on my car and this was the worst period. The hoses behind the firewall were a nightmare to reinstall. I replaced various clamps with better stainless clamps. I used a hose clamp tool but that wasnt the end all tool. The only way to get to those connections was to twist your arm/hand to get in there. A small inspection mirror was the only way to confirm the connections were good. Honestly I pray not to ever do it again, if I ever have to I will pay my local Porsche mechanic to do it. I used every curse word while doing the install, I think the install drove me to drink lol.
