I hate when a tank licks, sorry But seriously it depends on where the leak is. Some had repairs that held, some not. My advice is if the tank is a two piece, make sure that it hangs on the brackets with little gap on both sides. Keystone installed these tanks not in accordance to the tank manufacturers recommendation. If it split at the seam, replace the tank and have support added below both tanks.

About four years ago our grey tank developed a crack on the bottom of the tank. I was able to repair the crack with a Plasti-Mend kit, http://plasti-mend.com/cart/index.ph...&product_id=96
After making the repair, I added two additional braces across under the frame and installed blocking between the braces and the bottom of both the grey and black tanks so they are supported from underneath more so than just hanging from the lips of the tanks. After getting the blocks attached to the bottom of the tanks, I removed the braces, reinstalled the coroplast and then reinstalled the braces. We can have the tanks full now without worry of the tanks failing.
