Open the link below and see the same product with the same part number only one is made very strong long lived fiberglass reinforced wall and double the price and the other is very weak short lived polymer plastic only polypropylene wall and half the price. See this Amazon link. Amazon.com New...

Here are the pictures ajw22 asked for. The repaired area is encased in a steel cage stronger than it was new. JamesW point is that it can rupture elsewhere below the repair so that will require the whole tank be encased in those band clamps to make a complete safety cage. The reality is the...
