I repaired my tank. I cut out the bad spots and made a plug for the hole and then made a top plate .500" larger than the plug. I sealed it in with aircraft quality fuel resistant sealer and pop riveted it in place. I then overcated the whole patch. Pressure tested and it held. I have not had any issues. It was worth trying for me, (not enough redneck engineerin being done any more in my oppion) and has worked so far.
