I don't think you're likely to find a NEW tank anywhere, but a good used one 
should be available somewhere closer to you. I suspect, however, that your 
present tank just needs to be carefully cleaned out. Check around your town 
and see if there is anywhere that can do this for you. In the US, this service 
can also be done by a shop that repairs radiators.

I recommend that you just get it cleaned. Don't let them do an internal 
plastic coating. Also, note that there is a brass filter screen at the tank 
outlet. Remove this before you clean the tank.
