John: a patch job on a cracked tank is an invitation for a aquatic disaster. Generally the crack that appears in a vitreous china water closet is the result of stresses..These stresses are locked into the fired clay during the cooling process that follows the fireing of the ceramic article. There is no assurance that the tank will not continue to crack. A new toilet tank is far cheaper than new carpeting or flooring, and youll be able to sleep at night or go on vacation without the worry of a flood. Lots of luck…Bud
