Default Split Fuel Tank

I saw this on a previous post

"Has anyone had a problem with the 25 oz fuel tank developing a split at the seam around the neck? Routine clean-up after the weekend revealed the leak and I pulled the tank and found the split."
I just discovered the same problem with the 750cc tank on my 50cc Yak. Tried calling you guys (AeroWorks) several times today but can't get anyone to answer. Do you have a replacment avilable? Do I need to be concerned about the leaked fuel that has soaked into the tray? Best way to clean it up?

Aeroworks is probably closed today due to a big snow storm we had last night and today. I am pretty sure they stock gas tanks but I am not positive what sizes they stock. How much fuel leaked into the tray?

A big snow would explain it. Leaked about an ounce of fuel.

I don't think an ounce is much to worry about. I would just clean it up as best as possible. Maybe some baking powder would soak it up . Then vacuum it out. I never had to clean up fuel from wood before.

My stock tank split after 6 flights on my 50cc 300. I just replaced it with a dubro 24oz. So far so good.
