Had the low coolant alert center-dash on Saturday morning last.  First impulse was to ignore.  Sanity resurfaced and I returned to the driveway.  Coolant was low.  Leak evident.  During tank removal, lower hose self-disassembled along with fitting onto which lower hose is usually installed.

New tank ordered at local parts store yesterday morning, picked up and installed this evening.  The natural color of the tank is not slimey translucent green.  It's actually a clear clean plastic.  Imagine.

I'm sure it can be had cheaper than $81 but probably not a whole lot less with overnight shipping.  Next time I see something consumable on special at TPC, I'll order it.  Although, they don't list the V8 tank...
