i might once have welded a 6 inch square patch over a damp rusty bit on a 600 gallon bulk diesel tank..... with fuel in it....but its not something id recommend anyone trying.
How do you patch a hole in a fuel tank!!

I may have drilled a hole in the top of my tank whilst putting the floor pans back in the 90 :doh: I used a rivet with a large head and plenty of tiger seal, It's not leaked in 2 years

drill a hole in the centre of a 5p coin ( reet through the queens sneb )
then put a blind pop rivet through that and a rubber tap washer aswell so that squashes between the 5p and the tank then shove the rivvet int ole and gun it up and will probably outlast the tank
