The answer is solid repair. Removing all fuel and removing the failed filler with hand tools, not power driven will get down to the screws. remove them and finish cleaning. Take the tank to a repair shop that can braze in a real patch. Remember filler has a different expanson and contraction rate than steel. thick (more than 1/8th inch are going to crack and remain a problem. JB weld seems to be a better option, as do epoxy materials designed fro fuel tank repair. Then shape, prime and finish. Remember, heat drives fumes in an empty tank to the explosive range, even an electric soldering iron will make trouble. (it would need to be massive to heat the tank to solder melting temp anyway) Jim
