i've screwed in a s/s self tapper with a tight rubber o ring seems ok so far 'if not chemical metals next

I've used Petro patch many times. Easy to apply and totally good results

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering how you "managed" to put a hole in your tank? Come on spill the beans

Self-tapper or even better a blind rivet with a fibre washer under its head.

Who drilled the hole in the tank?
