How long does it take to find a new tank and install it?

if the tank is off clean and sand the area and use fiderglass to repair it . If you do the entier bottom you wont have a problem again. I did this on a old tractor that the dottom of the tank was gone in its lasted 20 years with diesel in it. While the tank is off change the sock on the fuel pickup.

Ps I have a tank in a old gas blazer in NC if you want to come and take it off you can have it.

There is a product used on home heating oil tanks called magne-patch or something like that, uses a magnet to squeeze a piece of foam against the steel tank. (temporary fix)
I've fixed leaky piping on the bottom of heating oil tanks by using a shop vac on the fill pipe to pull the tank into a negative, allowing the leak to temporarially stop, which allows removal of tank piping at bottom of tank, works with #2 heating oil and K-1, probably ok with diesel, but never try it with gasoline!

First you need to get a Torch then......
