No, that is how the pros weld a fuel tank.
Oh my, this is going to require ear plugs so the large BANG does't
scare you too much.
Than of course there is all the hollering and screaming that comes
from burn victims.
I've used epoxy with good results, not as dramatic of course....

Another trick that I've heard about but never witnessed is called
'pressing up' the tank, whereby you fill it with water so that the fuel
is pressed up to the top of the tank, and then you weld so that the
water gets heated and not the fuel. How do you keep the water leaking
out of the break from mucking up your welding? I don't know...

What do I use to weld this? Torch?
Fuel tank welding is rather tricky. I've done it. The secret
ingredient is a lawnmower putting away filling the tank with non-oxygen,
and keeping it that way.
I don't really recommend it.
