Default How to seal a ninja 250 gas tank?

So... stupid me put a hole in my gas tank (from the screw going into far) won't go into the details on how... just know I did! So what's the best way to seal it off? Or should I just get a new tank?

A few ways to plug it. You will have to sand the paint off the area. You can get a fiberglass repair kit from an auto store and glass it. You can solder it or weld it. You could make a rubber gasket and put the screw back in with the gasket. Of course to weld or solder it you must make sure there is no gas or fumes in the tank but they are the most permanent fixes. The screw is temporary. Then you can get some paint and touch it up.

Their is a product called Liquid Nails that will work.Another product called Brolite, it's sold at Marine Suppliers, it's two parts mixed inwater.Make sure you empty the tank and dry it out, apply and leave it empty for three days. Make sure you apply this stuff in side a place where the temp is above 70 degrees.
