Did you get any help with this ? I have the same problem, looks like there are two types of diesel tanks for this model..

No mate , you have to fit the one with vent at back of tank, something to do with VW engine connections

I was at a garage yesterday and there are two types of diesel tanks for this year, so I went to a Mitsubishi garage, gave them my reg number and they could match the correct tank for the car. Luckily I got to know this or I could have wasted money ordering the wrong tank. What a hassle... only bought the car last weekend aswell , thankfully it was the other half of the tank that rusted, so I can drive on a half tank till I get the tank replaced , new tank will cost about 400 euro and the work bewteen 350 and 400 euro . I live in Sweden so you might be able to get help getting the right tank part number from a Mitsubishi garage where you are. Good luck mate.

Forgot to mention that as a temp fix you can try scarping of the rust to the metal where the hole is and then apply Loctite 3463 or similar when the outside of the tank is dry. Here is a video: Gas Tank Repair with Epoxy Putty Compound [Tutorial] . also this video:

I also might try if the garage don't have time
