The steel surge tank from BCS appears to be very well made (heavy). I just installed one on our 1998 Contessa without serious problems except fighting the stiff old hoses. I replaced the larger hose (after I had to split it to remove it) and wished I had also replaced the two smaller hoses before I finished because the old hoses were stiff and difficult to work over the painted steel hose barbs of the new tank. Also be sure the sight glass will be pointing in the direction you wish before you begin the installation, (BCS included a pipe plug to fill up the other port).
