G'day Jeff,
The problem with HDPE fuel tanks/catchers is that, they do become brittle and prone to cracks from exposure to sunlight over time.
Once this starts to occur, they're pretty much a chuckaway - welding up the cracks becomes a process of chasing your tail...
These tanks are still very much available; this is the item, tho' it doesn't have a pic;
