I used JB weld on a leak in a tank on one of my older bikes and rode it for years and it never leaked again. Not the first choice for a repair but better than welding and turning yourself into a crispy critter.

Not that the danger is less, but I'd think brazing would be easier than welding,, , but,you CAN do the JB,,and hope it lasts first.

Well, I spent two days on the repair. Used JB Weld Steel Stick. Crammed as much as I possibly could into all of the seams surrounding the rear mounting flange. Than I sanded and put another coat on top of that. Filled the tank back up a few hours ago and it seems to be holding. I'm still in the market for a new, used tank that doesn't leak.
Crossing my fingers and toes.

Well, the JB Weld didn't hold. Just went out to check and I still have some weeping of gasoline not tears yet. Definitely looking for a new tank.

I'd call around to some radiator and welding shops
