Years ago I used epoxy glue and strips of a bed sheet to fix a gash in my gas tank. It was still holding when I sold that car years later to a friend. He never had a leak either. I'm sure that would work on a plastic tank too. Just clean it up real well with alcohol, and scratch the plastic surface to give the epoxy some teeth. Then lay down a small layer of epoxy and press a small patch of cloth into it. Add another slightly larger layer of epoxy and cloth until you have the area covered. Two or three layers should be fine, and fiberglass cloth would be better, but that old bedsheet worked well for me. Top it off with a final layer of epoxy to seal it all in, and it will last a long time.
