Default Discontinued fuel tank

I own a 05 ram 2500 hemi with the plastic 34 gallon fuel tank. I recently noticed a fuel leak coming from a crack where the heat shield attaches to the fuel tank. I've looked all over online and called dealerships to find a replacement tank. No seems to be able to locate one. I found tanks for the 1500 but I'm not sure if they're compatible. It's parked until I can fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll send pictures of that will clear any questions up.

There are a bunch of repair kits available for fuel tanks, maybe look into that option.

Find your specific part number and start looking, they have been discontinued for a number of years and don't think even LMC is repro'ing them yet.

I've looked into two part epoxies for a patch job. I get good and bad reviews on that.

I called the dealership to get a part number and I found one in Canada. It seems as if they won't ship it to the states. I'll try calling on Monday.

Check ebay and car-part.com as well. Finding a used one is gonna be a helluva lot easier than a new one.

Thank you! I found it on the link you sent me, it's being shipped out of AZ.
