Default repairing fuel tank hole

Its a long story but i have a hole in my fuel tank. ( its diameter is about a centimeter). I was wondering if there is a good way to repair it? (will epoxy hold to nitro, because i was thinking of epoxying a piece of a pop can to the hole)
Please help!

find or buy a hot glue gun and repair the hole, the fuel will be ok since fuel is "non-polar" and plastic is "polar" they will not stick.
