    Unfortunately, replacement seems to be the best answer, thats the weak spot on a tank to begin with. Any lawntractor parts place should carry them, or check the classifieds/craigslist for an old parts tractor cheep.

    yup, listen to will. you won't be able to get the crack clean enough to ever seal it so that it won't leak, and you would be riding a fire hazard.
