If you have a good radiator shop around call them. They used to do it around here

I once used some of the stuff that parts houses carry that is in a clear plastic container about like a roll of pennies. It is two parts you knead [?]together. It was there for at least three years with no further leakage. Was a leak like yours, couldn't really see a hole, just gas leaking. Joe

JB weld also works great for this. Years ago my son dropped his car down on a jack stand and punched a 3 corner tear in his gas tank, I  hammered and pulled it into place put JB Weld on it and it lasted for I don't know how long. He had the car another 2 years sold it and saw it all the time on the road.

there is prolly more rust you can't see. i'd follow N8DC's advise and take it to a rad shop. they can boil it out and patch the holes and make it good as new.
