Fuel tank cracks

Is everyone having the same problems as me? Or, did I just get the greatest problem of the century?
At about 35,000km, the rear of the fuel tank where it bolts to the frame began to leak. I had it braised. No problem.
At 45,000 km, it gracked around the front mounting (under hard braking, fuel was spurting over the steering head with over half a tank).
I had it braised unsuccessfully. I have since used an epoxy metal to seal it. Working great.
If anybody wants new painted tanks, call Gowanloch, but don't expect to get a dark blue 906 tank, it will turn out to be a mettalic 750 tank. \
I'm told they bought 2 container loads of parts from the factory!
