A pic of the break would help a lot.  One or more members have tried re-welding a tank only to create more leaks, weld those, more leaks, etc.  If you show us the break you may get better advice on how exactly to fix it.

And yes, several members have reported breaks in the tank.  RE now uses a rolling spot weld on the new tanks.  Also, the new tanks are notably wider at the mounts.  More than just a washer or two would take up.  If you get a new one don't just torque it down.  Build/buy  some spacers first.

I will post a pic over the weekend when I remove the tank.
