Hi

When replacing an old fuel tank what do I need to look out for when buying a new one?

Are the ones in uros good?

or Will this do the trick?

I bought one of the ATP ones last year. Quick delivery, easy to fit and seems decent quality for the price.

Nothing to do with facelift or otherwise. Tanks come in 55 litre or 62 litre capacity, and are totally different from each other in the way they transfer fuel from left to right, so to avoid complicating matters, make sure you get one with the same capacity as your existing one.
55 litre has a S shaped pipe between the bottom of the two sides, 62 litre does not.
