As for the break in the tank, yours is the first I have seen and if it happened to me I would try to find a larger tank anyhow, but if push came to shove I would repair it myself. You would just need to degass the tank before trying to weld it back together and I think this 10% ethanol is not helping the tanks at all.

First my name is not Dick, Its Jay, as for the welding your partially correct except these tanks have double casing, in order for a weld or brazing to hold they would have to weld it from the inside and outside, the tank was already de gassed. I suspect your right about the Ethanol, it is possibly the reason the chinese weld broke down!
