May give that a try or some of that two part
putty. Just for a temp fix.

I had a pinhole in the bottom of the tank on my 75 Grand Prix back in
college, I stopped by a shop one day and an old mech told me to rub a
bar of soap on the hole to stop the leak, deal with it later. I'd do
that every now and then and it worked for quite awhile. I finally took
it to a shop and they took it off and drained it, etc. and soldered over
the hole, or brazed it or something. Whatever it was worked.
Reminds of an experience when I was about 14 or so. Was riding my bike
on a fairly busy street, cars going by. I hear this godawful noise and
look over and see this big gas tank skidding along the street behind
this old station wagon. Gas sloshing out all over the street, I'm
thinking that thing is gonna spark and blow the hell out of me. The old
wagon coasts to a stop, the gas tank stops with no further drama, the
woman gets out of the car and says, "I think I lost my gas tank." Uh
yeah looks like it. I felt bad for her but it was pretty funny, all
things considered.

Found a small leak in my fuel tank on the 83 300TD yesterday. Called
just now and MB wants over a thousand for a new one. Looks like I will
be draining it and brazing the hole in the not too distant future
unless I can find a good one pretty soon in a local U-pull.
