There are a couple ways to fix it. I have done both with success
I have welded 3 diesel tanks on tractors. I use heatvgun to warm the area and keep it warm. Brake clean and wire brush to make it spotless clean
Saran Wrap for the weld.
Take Saran Wrap in a speed drill and squat it into a stick. Make sure it is very clean. Heat the area and use an electric wood burning tool as the melter. Slowly burn into the tank filling with plastic as you go. Layer on layer till you think its strong enough not to break again.
The underside of tanks I find flex to much do there I use high heat silicone and steel plates. The biggest plate that fits in the filler hole. I put one on the inside and one on the outside.
Inside one needs no silicone. Pre drill and weld nuts onto the one inside. The one on the outside use lots of silicone and bolt together. Sometimes you need to weld wire to it and break it off when finished. Magnets taped to sticks works. Sometimes a magnetic through the tank works to move it around a bit.
I have not had one fail that I fixed yet. Knock on wood.
It is way easier if the tank is off no matter which method you use.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
