Have had good luck using the epoxy stick/putty formula, even works on a full gas/ diesel tank. You need to clean an area about the size of a quarter with sand paper, then use a match head size bit of putty to stop the fuel flow. Dry the area around that bit of putty and apply enough to cover about a 1 inch area. The putty dries very rigid, so if the tank broke because it flexes where it rests on a saddle, then the epoxy putty will crack loose from further flexing and will not work. Used to have good luck fixing oil and gas leaks using a product in a yellow tube (cant remember the name) but this stuff stayed flexible and would seal a flex induced crack.
