Try some jb weld or appoxi. You could have it removed and have a welder reweld the crack.

JB weld it! No pressure there so it should work fine.

Most hardware and auto parts stores should have it.

It's a paste, but if I remember right it will run, so if you can position your tank so the crack is on a flat surface, or else you might have to put something on it to keep the JBweld in place. If it's just a hairline crack, the paste won't seep through.

JB weld works on almost all metals and alot of other stuff. it should work fine. its not like the tank is pressurized.
