You can repair the tank as long as you have all the pieces. If you can't just patch it with fiberglass you can enclose the complete tank in fiberglass using the original as an included mold.

Go to any boat supply or auto body supply house and they will have the fiberglass material and the epoxy to coat it with.

Once the glass is applied recoat it 3 or 4 time with epoxy per the instructions and you will have a bomb proof tank. I would use 6 oz. material.

If you have a local crack I would patch it first with glass and then enclose the whole tank.

Sand the area you are glassing with at least 80 grit sandpaper.
