It is called the lower solution tank bracket.

Is this on a cimex? Mine was leaking there the insulator had came out or worn. I was able to do a with some rubber and washer's . It's not a new tank but it doesn't leak. I don't know how bad it is , or if you can fix it. But it is worth a try

I wish there was another option, but a new tank is probably going to be the way to go. Here's a link to the new tank... http://excellent-supply.com/Replacement-...p_155.html
I concur with what Rick said.
I've had a couple of tanks welded (plastic), glued & other methods.
None were a success.
I bit the bullet & bought new ones.
I believe that this problem could be removed, IF the manufacturer would INSIST on a FULL WIDTH metal plate supporting the entire width of the solution tank.
IF it was one inch less than the width & from front to rear, this would fully support the tank with no problems & place much less stress on the solution tank on that tiny piece of supporting steel.
I don't regret my past, I just regret the times I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or I no longer love what I can do.
Stop moving, start dying........

I had a similar issue with some tank leaking. I was able to patch the problem with a special rubber insulation tape I had for car tires (sorry, I'm not good with car therms). Unfortunately it was only a temporary solution and I still had to replace the tank. This is why you should be very careful on purchase and pick a machine with the least parts and attachments. The less you have to assemble, the better.
