More of a seep than a leak, on the left lower seam it is slightly moist. It is such a slight weep you could live with it but I want to fix it before it gets worse. I've got it all apart, put new fuel pump in, changed the filter, and swapped over fuel pump pick up.
Interior of the tank looks pretty good for 12 years old. I can't pinpoint exactly where the leak is other than the seam. Do you think it could be soldered from the inside so paint is not affected or should I seal it with something else.
I don't really want to use a liner type product because of the hit an miss mess they can make.

Thoughts?

Are you absolutely sure that it's not possible that it's coming from the o ring seal for the fuel pump assembly? A tiny leak can show itself somewhere else than the source. If it wasn't leaking there before you replaced the fuel pump, that's where I'd look first.

Absolutely sure, o ring area all good, it is definitely in the seam, as I said the leak is so slight, it stains the frame there is no staining on the valve covers.

Okay. I may get flamed on for suggesting this but I have successfully used JB Weld to make these kinds of repairs.

Weld it..

Get it welded right,JB weld is ok as a quick fix but when mix w/ gas it weakens and fails over time.Gas is no joke why even take a chance,Weld it Craig,we enjoy your insight and comments sir and would really hate to see you get injured,just saying..

Cheers mate, I've decided to take it to a local radiator repair guy that has a good reputation on Monday.
Will go from there.

Great news,if ya going to do it,do it right the first time....

Fixed

My radiator guy gave it a quick solder, the old fashioned way. I'll give the repair a touch up with a paint pen.
The hole was microscopic, JB Weld probably would have been fine.
Cost me a 6 pack of beer.
