Not the first choice for a repair but better than welding and turning yourself into a crispy critter.

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.
