Have patched gas or even diesel tanks with JB putty sticks while the tank is full. You need to wet sand(fuel is leaking remember) the leak about 1-1/2 inches in diameter then jam a match head size bit of epoxy paste in the hole to stop the leak. When the sanded spot gets dry, add a large marble size lump of epoxy putty to make a full size repair. It will hold as long as the tank does not flex or the patch is struck by some hard object. Cured epoxy putty is very rigid and will break off if the tank flexes.
