Take notes as you tear it down and have some line available as messengers. Finding a compatible tank can be a PITA. Good luck.

Screwdriver/multimax/serrated knife of any type (bread knives work great on foam) to get the foam out. Keep the shop vac handy, you'll have a billion little pieces to suck up once you're done.
If it isn't weird dimensions, try finding a plastic tank first. Moellers come in about a thousand shapes and sizes.
Lots of good fabricators around if you go aluminum!
Use 4lb 2part foam to put it back in.
I'll be ordering from US Composites the end of the week.
