Any suggestions?
Thanks guys.

Mine actually did the same thing from same spot. Started a few months back. I had several attempts in fixing it without actually welding it. My last "fix" seems to be working so far. My crack went from about an inch long to about 3 inches. I removed and drained the tank then dremeled the area clean down to bare metal. Wipe off residual dust with brake cleaner on rag. I did try JB weld but that didnt last as the gas eventually made it come off the tank. But this last attempt I used quick steel epoxy playdo stuff and seems to be holding up this far. I also had another leak at the outlet nipple where it comes out of the tank. Bad welding. Did the same thing there. Hope this helps.
