Default RE: patching hole in plastic fuel tank?

I have successfully patched small holes such as you have, using a small tipped soldering iron and plastic edge trimmer cord as "solder". Get the tank oil free around the hole. Using the soldering iron, carefully melt the area around the hole in a circular motion and slowly apply the trimmer cord to the tip of the iron till it flows and covers the hole. Done ! Pressure test the tank under water....
Good Luck !
