Place a small piece of cotton hankie over crack a paint with fingernail polish (any colour you can nick of the home boss!) completely cover the cloth and the surrounding area. let dry replace and check. Never put Acetone (like  Nail polish remover,or Methanol!!) in tank as it will dissolve repair. This is not a joke. Cheers Tim

And of course, the get out of jail card if the tank or tap springs a leak at a meeting, is of course to apply a thick coat of ordinary soap to the area, just rub the soap cake over the leak and all is good. Lasts until the next time it rains ! Also good for curing leaks in a car's gas tank.... this info not commonly known by poms... :)
Nostalgia's not what it used to be....

yeah that soap trick works well i had a pinhole in the side of my val ute fuel tank and repaired it with super fine dust i found in the chassis rails good shit and cheep to buy,another good to know fix is wheat germ or bran down a damaged radiator when a skippy broke the plastic grill and the broke part spered the radiator tube,within 30 secs of putting in the bran with the motor running no more leak
