Bill,
Welding a polyethylene diesel fuel tank would either be a skill you already have or beyond what you could acquire for less than the cost of a new tank.
If it comes out of the boat easily consider contacting the manufacturer regarding repair. I’ve always thought I’d try hot glue on a water tank but a diesel tank still in use would be had to consider perfectly clean.
When you exhausted all reasonable approaches, try a pan head screw with Permatex sealant under the head. If you have access via cleanout use a machine screw fender washers and some gasket material from an auto parts store sealed with Permatex.
I doubt if the USCG will accept any repair so consider it temporary.

Slightly off topic, but so much
knowledge here. Anyone know how to fix a small punture in a polyethylene
diesel fuel tank? Can it be done? Size of an ice pick. |
