I recently received two new 5 gal tanks for the MkIII. The ones in it now are at least 30 years old and yellowed.
They were old water treatment chemical throw-aways.
These appear to be at least as sturdy as my old ones and have the bonus of little vents in the handles.
If interested here is where I got them:
http://www.utahbiodieselsupply.com/carboys.php
Price is good and delivery fast.
I also found a source that sells fluorinated tanks which are supposed to resist ethanol. A bit more expensive.
Will fwd their site if interested.

You don't need a fluorinated tank to resist ethanol, plain old HDPE will do fine. The fluorinated tanks are only needed in applications that need to be CARB compliant; the fluorinated plastic has lower permeability to hydrocarbon emissions... from the same folks who mandated "spill proof" (which are actually pour proof) as can spouts.
