Obviously an alloy welder would be best, after copious flushing with lots and lost of detergent and water

Other wise If it's a temp fix a Good Clean down to bare metal and JB weld or Devcon A for ally or Posiflex Sealant (Superb stuff that) and You may get more than a Hundred years or ya may not???

Drain the tank, ventilate well (safely) till totally dry. Pour Clear Bostik Glue into the local area. Support the tank at the correct angle to make sure the crack is wetted. Won't be ready for tomorrow though as you need to let it set, but give it a few days...
