| Personally I wouldn’t trust any kind of sealer long term. Maybe take it to a fabricator and ask what they can do without the heat damaging the paint too much or distorting the metal. Maybe brazing or something. |

| The overflow, likely vents the tank so if you block it your tank may have a problem venting vapour/pressure as fuel expands or the level changes etc. |

Here's what it looked like a small pin hole would have thought the guys spraying it would have noticed hopefully fixed now
