 There are places in the UK that use a 'Re-Nu' method to repair fuel tanks. I
 believe that it consists of cutting out the damage, welding in a repair
 section then coating the interior. For rare or expensive tanks its an option
 worth looking at.

PLEASE DO NOT MIG WELD ON A USED GAS TANK!!!!!! I dont want to see any list 
members get decapped from a BAD explosion. My dad's best friend had his head 
entirely severed from MIG welding a tank, AND he was certified, in a shop, 
with the tank filled with Argon, it caught ANYWAY.... PLEASE be careful, a 
gas tank isnt worth dying over... My .02.
