If the tank is steel, there is no reason why you cannot drain it, wash it out with water really well, let it air dry/air out, and then weld where it leaks.

Where in MN are you?

its actually plastic with a thick fuel line coming out of it (not the best setup) if they were originally steel then i probably check out a new one... by the way im from the north metro north of blaine on 65

Had the same problem and had a few good suggestions from here. But decide on a product called seal-all

Seal-All 050307

I used automotive panel push pins (the thicker plastic ones with ridges so they won't pull out). I coated the push pin with the seal-all, pushed them in the holes then layered the seal-all over the top over a few days.

I've had gas sitting back in the tank for a while now with no leaks. Of course i haven't tested it in the winter, but this repair looks great. I'm not worried at all.
