I just got done replacing my tank with the Spectra BM1B and thought I would post my thoughts.
I cracked the tank at the tank from the muffler shifting and tapping the tank; I noticed a small puddle of fuel under the car the following morning from a slow drip.
I probably could have welded the tank after removing and purging it, but decided that it made more sense to replace it since Amazon could deliver a new one for $230 in 2 days. However, I couldn't find much feedback on the Spectra tank.
I was really surprised at how nice the tank is. First, it comes factory coated with a Ni-Tern coating that should offer excellent corrosion resistance without the need to paint it. The fit was exactly the same. It had the same internal fuel pump baffle and routing of the return line with the jet pump.
My old tank was 28 years old and actually had zero corrosion on the inside. The filler neck had some rust but otherwise would have been good for another 10 years.
