There are aftermarket tanks that hold something like 55 gallons. All steel construction, I believe. They aren't cheap, but why not upgrade while you're there?

It might save you in the end, depends on how much fuel leaks out of your current tank till you get it fixed.

It's not costing him much when he is making his own fuel

You should find someone who welds plastic Dave, or buy some of that "Seal-all" , it has worked for me in the past.
