fixing stainless tank

[steveg1100]

I have a stainless steel fuel tank that has a small pinhole were it is leaking. The tank is in very good condition apart from this. Is it possible to have the tank repaired or is it better to have a new one built. The tank is out of a sharkcat and it is sealed under the floor so require high reliability. (don't want to cut open the floor again)

Opinions or past experience expressed would be greatly appreciated.

Steve, If you have one pinhole , I would think there would be more just waiting to happen. Here are a few threads about stainless fuel tanks and tanks in general. Sam
