:thumbdown: on the JB Weld -- it will only be a TEMPORARY solution if it works at all. Call around to some shops and ask if they know of/use in welders that are familiar with this type of repair. You could also contact some welders directly. Basic process is the drain the tank. The welder will pressurize it with an inert gas like Nitrogen (they should NOT use water -- it WILL explode). Then they can weld it up for ya! Hope that helps.
