Don't go cheap when it comes to a fuel tank.
I prefer the older thick wall black plastic design because they last, but most manufacturers have gone to the cheaper white plastic which breaks down from ultraviolet exposure.

They do not make that particular part number in a black plastic, it would have to be a different number, and it would take some research using just the dimensions of your tank.
Typically, older Bolen's, Poulan, Snapper, Lawn Pro and Murray riders had the small back fuel tanks that were similar.
AYP and MTD models have made many black or white plastic fuel tank configurations over the years.

Only purchase the tank from a 4/5 star rating seller. I've had same problem. Cheaper is just cheap. Good rating good product.
Surplus Center might have a steel tank that will fit. They usually have all manner of tanks for small engines.

I had an old Snapper SP back in the day with a tank susceptible to melting from engine heat. Seam would distort & split.
I went through 3 tanks, first one the dealer replaced under warranty although my warranty had expired long before he still took care of that.
When I replaced my third tank I fabricated a piece of tin as a heat sheild on it & never replaced another tank.
My dad never had a garage & kept his mower by his house covered up with a metal wash tub. It had the old Tecumseh engine with the wind up crank on top, that had a knob you turn to release tension to start it.
Man that old mower just wouldn't quit either, the only thing dad ever gave me..lol
