    Would probably be cheaper to just buy an ebay tank than fix that if its even possible.

    eBay tank was next choice. Just wanted to know if anyone has had success repairing one like this and how they did it.

    I wouldn't try to fix that tank, unless replacement tanks are flat out unavailable.

    I've heard good things about Marine Tex Epoxy Gray, haven't tried it myself, but plan on getting some.

    You can't fix that unless your welding a new tank basically.

    Can it be fixed? Yes, with only a crazy outlay of time and materials if you don't like the person, even more if you do. I'd say ebay tank time will be far more cost effective including labor.
