It's a PITA do it yourself job....Dremel or no Dremel. I took mine to my Porsche indy. Genuine Porsche tank, hoses, clamps, coolant, and all labor was about $1,100......23 year old Boxster, so it's to be expected.

I agree. It was a BIG PITA when I did it. Mine was on the jack for 2 days. I was about to call my LPS (Local Porsche Shop) for a tow but gave one last try... then I made the break through. It aged me. I am not sure if I can, or want to, do it again.

I read enough of those stories, I paid to have mine replaced

Me? Not so smart.
Ha! I'm lucky if I learn from my own mistakes!

+1 on comments relating to replacement. My PO installed an aftermarket tank and I had to replace it. I used a genuine from Pelican, and it is a PITA bc of the piping thru the bulkhead. I asked a well qualified friend to look at some articles and he charged me $250 plus a extension hose clamp pliers (you need this is you're DIY'ing).
We replaced the level sensor at the same time, as you need to do it with the tank out.
