Car body filler and one of these:

with a penny washer.

It worked for many years me when a scrote screwdrivered my tank.
You could use a sealant specifically intended for petrol but in my
case I didn't have any at hand.
That's better than my ideaÂ* plenty of those .... gonna try
THAT...thanks..the hole is big enough now

thanks fredxx


What cased the hole?
Rust?
Stone thrown up from the road?
other?


Salt, judging by the knackered state of that tank. He'll need a big
bung for the MOT tester because its right next to the suspension
which will be carefully looked at anyway.


Please cite the rule the MOT tester will cause a fail.

Please don't repeat claims you've already been asked to justify.
