Default Fuel Tank Service Fix

Hello Forum!! Long time, no chat! Sorry guys, I haven't logged in in quite some time. I decided to go back to school so I haven't had much time for anything....what was I thinking?. Anyway, my STR was running quite well all this time until, well, about a month ago. We noticed fuel was leaking on the passenger side, near the rear wheel. Long story short, got that fixed, or thought I did, now I can't register the car because the ECU keeps saying "not ready" when it goes to inspection. So, all that said, I found out today there is a bracket or clamp that is cracked on the fuel tank, and, of course its not sold separately, so I need a new fuel tank, which my mechanic could not find. When he called Jaguar, they informed him of TSB JTB00372NAS2m section 310-01, which basically says I need to replace the tank, ECU, fuel pump, etc....which will cost in excess of 10k...needless to say, I am unwilling to invest that kind of money in a car with over 100k miles.....even though I really love my STR still. Has anyone ran across this issue before or does anyone have any suggestions? Anything help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks forum!

I'm not familiar with that TSB, but if required, how about a used tank and ECU? I'd just make sure the donor car already had the post-TSB parts. EBay is a great source for stuff like that. I'd recommend a new fuel pump, though.
