Been there, done that,

I took a gas tnak from an 87 Cabriolet from a scrap yard for 20$ , and got it tested/cleaned, for 75$ and installed it on my scirocco.

yep you need to release the rear axle bushing bolts, disconnect the brake lines (to prevent accidental breakage(sp?)) and then remove the gas lines (which will no doubt need to be replaced after 16 uears of use the rubber get rotten) and remove the fuel pump/accumulator assembly off, remove back seat, disconnect hoses and electrical from the transfer pump, then remove the 9-10 bolts/plates holtding the tank, and drop that puppy down...  about 2-3 hrs of work total. 
Nothing difficult, but I suggest you wait until you got like no gas in the tank (hit redline on gauge) before doing this... empty tank safer and easier to handle by one self than a full tank

g'luck.

After doing a CONSIDERABLE amount of labour on redoing all my rocco's fuel lines, banjo fittings and other fuel line/system components to stop the gas leaks in the car....I now have had my worst nightmare happen to me.....a leaky gas tank.  The leaks are coming from the apparent joining point between the upper and lower parts of the tank....and it seems that the whole rear subframe has to come off in order to replace the tank....where can I get another tank and for what cost?  Also, is there a quick fix to help stop the leak for now?  Has anybody had to do this?  Why didn't they make the tanks out of plastic??!??
