If the discharge side of the pump where it is cracked leaks, maybe try to seal it with JB weld, it may last a week or three years. If this doesn't work, no loss, you were going to buy a new pump anyway. This gets you to 170 gals. of fuel on site, awesome!!! (4X15+2X55)
Sometimes having a large fuel container around empty is just as good as having it full. Years ago I bought a $50 275gal oil tank. 3/2020 I filled that puppy up for $1.28gal.. it's still 5/8 full.
I would have just put some J-B weld on that crack. JB weld is fuel resistant. Use the original stuff, not the quick set. The original stuff is way stronger. We have J-B welded multiple pieces of oil-filled equipment back together, I kid you not.
