If you are incapable of making a replacement tank, there are options. While I do not know what the original tank looks like, I have an idea it may be a simple square 6 side metal box. Any sheetmetal shop worth its salt should be able to fold up a suitable tank. Another option is to call these people http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm
Several years ago I talked to the owner of TANKS and he suggested that just about any tank shape is possible. He said that he and his company will need something to for the design. I am thinking that good pictures and lots of proper measurements would work very well. Shipping an old used tank is very likely not possible because of the explosive residue that can come out of the tank joints etcetera. I doube that you will be able to find a shipper that will take your tank, unless the tank can be carried on an open trailer.

Pictures of your project and pictures of the components you want are a good thing. Pictures give your situation more importance and may attract help.
