Default Fuel cell to fuel tank?

Does anyone have first hand experience returning to a fuel/gas tank from a fuel cell?
need to know parts required, issues encountered 2001 996 Cup.
Thanks
Rich

i did it two years ago...Got the tank from Dennis Aase...It's not too difficult if you can you source the fuel tank. It is time consuming and there may be issues if they removed wiring harness or the stock fuel lines... Looking back if I had it to do all over again...I'd have put an new fuel cell bladder in rather than doing the swap. Cost in my case was higher than just doing a fuel cell.

My car went back from cell to tank. I didn't do it (PO did). Changing the bladder every 5 years is not something I wanted to do. I narrowed my search to cars without fuel cells.
