I had a pipe leak a couple of years ago that was easily fixed by replacing with hose ... ended up replacing the whole lines along the bottom of the car.
But then my tank sprung a couple of leaks too (once it goes in one place, seems it's ready to go elsewhere too), up above where it was easy to access. Made damn sure I treated and painted the "new" one well before replacing - it should outlast the car now.
If replacing the tank, check the condition of the metal retaining "straps" too, because they're prime candidates for corrosion.
