My wife's car has a leak from the flange where the top and bottom halves of

I had thought I might find a cheap way of getting it reconditioned but have

Are any gunks or gunges practical?
We minimise the leak by running with only a small quantity of petrol in the
tank - my biggest concern is that the system doesn't pressurise as it
should and as a result the petrol pump is having to work harder.

Quite apart from being very foolish it is an offence to use a vehicle
with a leaking fuel tank. You should stop using the vehicle to prevent
putting yourself and the public at risk.
