I doubt anything will work. Silicone certainly won't. Welding will loose you at least a few vital organs. Even the new super epoxies will struggle.

New tank time, methinks.

Perol tanks is £70 and im not keeping the car long had to out a full exhaust on other day too. Me being stupid as soon as it was done put silicone over the hole its been on a while now and has stopped it from leaking

Petrol dissolves silicone....and if its starts leaking on to the hot exhaust....or anything else that could cause a spark....

There are fuel tanks for £30 on Ebay, and no doubt breakers etc.

I didnt know that. And where the jack slipped it made a dent in the tank so i just put 2 layers of silicone on the dent to stop the leak and its stopped im absoloutley gutted about it tbh
