I'm guessing this is the spectra efi tank. It's what I have and it came from rock auto. There is a thread about that tank here somewhere; I think there is a newer version that works better.

I've had no real issue with mine so far but I only have 500 miles or so on it. The filler neck angle was not steep enough and the old factory cap did not fit well (nor did any aftermarket one I could find) so gas would always slosh out but with a little time and $15 or so I fixed that. If I had it to do over again I'd probably just baffle an old tank and use a tanksinc setup.
