If this tank is truly hard rubber it will not be flexible and be very brittle. Hard rubber is also known as ebonite made from natural rubber and very high amounts of sulfur for curing. I suggest that any repair should be made to include a preventative step from further cracking by cautiously drilling a very small hole at each end of the crack to prevent it from spreading further. The hole will distribute the stress.Take it easy in drilling the hole so as not to make things worse.
