Yeah, if epoxy is too much trouble (especially if the crack is slightly large), go with tape. I just thought tape was a bit unreliable (especially over time), but as long as it can create a seal it'll do the job. (as said, it doesn't need to hold pressure)
Edit: I meant any kind of tape can peel off if given the time and carelessness.

Unreliable? It's duct tape!
Anyway, it really is your choice as to how you go about fixing it. My dad and I did try to use a soldering iron to melt the reservoir plastic and seal up the crack again, but that didn't really work. Duct tape or epoxy would do the job, and a bit of epoxy might look a bit nicer.
