Tank repair - any ideas please?

Hi all,

As Mike has just posted I’ve got snags with the fuel tank on my Monstro. There’s a area about the size of my thumb nail that is leaking. It seems that the metal has just gone ‘soft’ not dissimilar to a chewing gum, and the fuel kind of oozes through. (I’ll try and post pictures shortly.) It’s not near a seam, but just in front of the seat (where a tank pad would be).
I’ve looked on the evil bay and tanks seem to be in the range of £100-£200 - but seem dented and (leak excepted) no better or worse condition than what I’ve got.
Another option would be to get the whole tank repaired / resprayed alongside the mudguard and seat cowl (if I can find it, it’s not been seen post house move).
Any ideas please?
